In her quest to help them, Juniper will risk everything—her life, her new love … and the possibility that her long-dormant faith in God might just be resurrected. Juniper Hawthorn never wanted to come out west. She followed her sister when Willow decided to become a mail order bride and moved to tiny Twin Creeks, California. Juniper is determined to get out of Twin Creeks as soon as she can, but she doesn’t bargain on falling in love with the young blacksmith, Joseph Braun. Then Juniper gets a job as a music teacher at the local school and finds herself drawn to two boys who seem to be immersed in a similar horror to Juniper’s own terrible childhood.
