Description
As the dim lights of the train station faded, Christine Bennett wondered if she would ever see home again. With the death of her grandfather, Christine experienced a deep loneliness she'd never felt before. The words of his will rang in her ears: "In the event of my granddaughter's death, everything will go to Vince Jeffers." Jeffers watched her with an evil look that made her shiver. Now, afraid of what might happen, she was obeying a note she had received saying she was in danger and must show more leave town immediately. After escaping to the community of Baxter, Christine begins to piece together a new life. The love she finds there, along with newfound faith, sustains her as she faces the threat of danger.. show less

This is my all time favorite book. Christine is lost and alone and being chased for an inheritance that she doesn't want. She ends up in Baxter where she finds a job, love, and God. The threat of her past is always just aound the corner and even Christine doesn't know how close. The book is set in 1887 and whenever I read it I get completly immersed in the time and life of these characters.
Lost and found in love, life, and Christ. That is definitely what this book is all about. This book makes me feel like a hopeless romantic, but at the same time so grateful for what I have. I really have not yet read a book by Lori Wick that I didn't like. I'm now off to find the sequel to this one.

An old favorite that I always like revisiting, despite the head-hopping.
