The road that led to Kate Bradshaw’s door sometimes seemed the loneliest in the world. In the depths of the Depression, the young widow was struggling to hold on to the family farm and raise two small children. And she had only her faith to sustain her—until the day Hatcher Jones came walking up that long, lonely road.

The handsome, mysterious drifter was clearly haunted by some terrible secret from his past. But the simple acts of kindness he showed Kate and her children spoke of a good heart and strong values. And she longed to make him see that there could be redemption for anyone, even him—and that all his wandering had brought him home at last.

What unseen hand guided Kody Douglas’s horse to that bleak, windswept South Dakota farmhouse? The "half-breed" cowboy—a man of two worlds, at home in neither—would never know. But when he finds a lovely, vulnerable young woman there, abandoned in the darkest hours of the Depression, he cannot simply ride away and leave her.

Charlotte Porter reluctantly follows this hard, embittered yet compelling man to his family’s homestead. But the more she learns about him, and the secret child who haunts his memories, the more she aches to comfort him and make him her own. Can two outcasts—brought together by hard times and shared faith—truly find love in so cold and heartless a world?

Can True and Lasting Love Still be Found?

Disillusioned by the idea of love, three Montana men find themselves in
unusual circumstances that make them question their faith-and the
possibility of true love.

Ace Conners feels his family abandoned him as the child of an alcoholic
mother. Though he knows marital bliss is not for him, he can't help falling
for Nicole Thomas. What is Ace to do when he knows his life is full of
risks-risks she can't bear to take?

Blake Thompson has never met his stepsister, but he believes her to be
self-centered and wants her to have nothing to do with his half-sister's
life. Darcy Hagen holds an equal resentment for Blake. How then will they
share guardianship of a child?

Steele Davis has represented one too many divorce through the courts to
believe in lasting love. Café owner Holly Hope surrounds herself with
romantic things. How can such opposites compromise together on a church
project?

Can modern romance hope for a happily-ever-after ending? Is there hope for turning these men to true love based on the solid foundation of faith?
