A man silenced. Twice. Can she help him find the courage to try again? Restrained in his former life, Quin Paxton moved west to start over. Now his own church censored him. Withdrawn into his own secluded world, he longs to preach again. But who will listen? Audrey Stillman and her sister, Francine, waited a year for their mother to return from her search for their father after the war. But she left these instructions: “If I don’t return in a year, move west. Find a husband. Live your lives.” So Audrey and her sister hire on with a widower to care for his two children and their dog named Trouble in exchange for safe passage west to a mining town high in the mountains of the Colorado Territory. But when disaster strikes in western Kansas, they’re separated from the wagon train. Stuck at an unnamed busy crossroads, can Quin help them? Audrey longs for one valuable family possession they left behind. She searches for a replacement. Could Quin hold the key to what Audrey’s heart truly searches for? But if he won’t preach again, how will she ever know?
