This was on my bookshelf but I don't recall buying it... anyway,a light and easy read for the beach. I enjoy stories where people live out their Christian faith in a real way, and in this book, the characters go through a trauma, and then have to wrestle with not having answers, or wondering why God allowed it to happen. yes, it's a love story but also goes deeper than that with tough family relationships, grief, loneliness, guilt, trauma, hurt and rejection.

Epigraph

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. ---Isaiah 55:11-12

Dedication

With love and appreciation I dedicate this book to my mentor, teacher, pastor, prayer partner, painting buddy and friend, Betty Jo Marples. Special lady, you give one hundred percent of yourself to all you do and to everyone who knows you. Whether I need a listening ear, an advocate or someone to tell me the straight truth, I can depend on you. Your example encourages me to look at others through the eyes of Jesus. You always see the best in me, believe the best for me, and expect the best from me. Thank you, friend.

First words

Durham, Nebraska, June 1869

Only her husband's physical body lay beneath the lush grass in the fenced-in cemetery behind the tiny white church.

There was nothing remotely romantic about widowed father Samuel Hart's marriage proposal. Yet Josie Randolph said yes. The Lord had finally blessed the lonely widow with the family she'd always dreamed of. And she was deeply in love with the handsome preacher, whose high ideals inspired everyone.

Each mile brought them closer to home, yet drove them further apart. Samuel didn't seem ready to open his heart again. But Josie was determined to be not just the preacher's wife, but Samuel's wife.
