Determined to champion the needs of the homeless, Katie finds ways around the man’s policies, like convincing a talented cart designer and maker to transport one of her orphans to a waiting adoptive family. Hans Korhonen bravely served in a Civil War field hospital and is ready for a life without orders and the unrealistic expectations of others. He seeks a future that matters—one where people respect his abilities and where his heart and mind can heal. Working with Katie helps. So does accompanying the circuit-riding preacher on the trail. Hans appreciates Katie’s fire and admires how she advocates for the needy. Katie values Hans’s willingness to serve every community he visits. The rebuilding of two lives in the 1866 era of reconstruction comes easier when they learn to depend wholly on God; knowing His love for them draws them closer—to Him and each other.
