Christine Bristol is sick of waiting. For three years she’s done as everyone tells her, putting aside dreams of the handsome photographer who captured her girlish fancy, trying to forget the mother who abandoned her on the stage to Abilene. Now she doesn’t care who gets hurt in her desperate bid to follow her heart. Heading across the prairie in a cramped, horse-drawn wagon, Christine discovers that much of the bitterness she’s known comes from her own lack of faith. On her journey of discovery to San Francisco, Christine finds a love that reunites her with her real family; puts her in touch with her true self; and brings her back to the simple Kansas homestead.

It was time for Billy Bristol to be married. So why did he feel like he was going to a funeral instead of a wedding as he started walking down the aisle? Everything changed for Billy when a very pregnant young woman interrupted the preacher with the wild claim that she was carrying his long-lost brother’s baby and then gave birth to her little girl right there in the church. There was no way Billy could ignore this tiny, innocent angel, and when he looked into her mama’s enticing green eyes, he had a hunch it was finally…a time for love.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Those were the words spoken at his beautiful young bride’s graveside, but Gabriel Getty found they held little comfort for him. At twenty-seven, his life was over: his wife and unborn child gone, his career as a lawyer ruined, his hopes dashed. Then, in his darkest hour, he found Solace. I will fear no evil, for You are with me. She was full of life, energy and daring. Solace Monroe was a writer of dime novels, a horse trainer, a rider in a Wild West show, and she didn’t seem to be afraid of anything. Not until a rival was murdered, she was accused and all society shunned her for the very individuality Gabe loved. This time he had the strength and knowhow to protect his woman; this time he would have faith that... Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.
