About this ebook

Tracie Peterson Embarks on a New Texas Series

When her father disappears in war-torn Mississippi, Hannah Dandridge finds herself responsible not only for her younger siblings but for the ranch her father recently acquired on the Texas plains. Though a marriage of convenience could ease her predicament, she determines to trust God for direction.

Wounded soldier William Barnett returns to his home only to discover that his family's ranch has been seized. Though angry and bitter at this turn of events, he's surprised to discover that it is a beautiful young woman with amazing fortitude who is struggling to keep the place running.

Hannah, desperate for help, and William, desperate to regain his family's land, form an uneasy truce. But nearby Comanche tribes, the arrival of Confederate soldiers, and a persistent suitor all threaten the growing attraction that builds between them. Will they be able to set aside their own dreams and embrace the promise of a future together?

Ratings and reviews

This book wàs never boring. Something was going on constantly. It kept me very interested with each turn of the page. Characters were very realistic. Issues concerning the Indians & the Civil War were woven into the story but the writer didn't get bogged down in details on either issue. Not Too much praying, but enough to remind us that God heard our prayers & is with us always.

I liked the book, but I don't understand why there isn't any proofreading done. Between the misspelled words, words used in the wrong context and words that needed to be separated from its neighbor it just made it frustrating to read. But the story was very good.

It is so wonderful to read a book based on God's Word and the frailty of our humanness that drives us to Him in exercise of our faith. I am so glad there was not descriptive sexual intimacies as so many other books have. Thank you Tracie honoring God with your writing.
