In the beginning of the story, Charity was so cold that she couldn't feel the reins in her hands. In a short time she was looking down on the campfires of Valley Forge. The men that she saw were ill clothed for the biting cold! Suddenly someone grabbed the horse's harness & threatened to make steaks out of him. A man named Charlie smothered her scream with his dirty hand while he tried to drag her to one of the shacks. A man named Winslow stopped the attack. Macklin noted that he only had one shot, but Winslow asked if he wanted it. Charity was grateful for Winslow's help, and he offered to take her to her brother. He also warned her to show more take care of her horse, since they'd eaten all of theirs. Winslow took Charity to his room to meet his wife, then to see her brother. Julie, Nathan Winslow's wife, invited Charity to stay with them while she was at camp. At the hospital, Winslow introduced Miss Alden to the Doctor. The doctor asked how she got there, but thought better of it. The way her brother, Curtis, looked brought tears to her eyes. He was glad she had come, so he wouldn't be alone when the time came. Winslow offered to get Curtis out of the hospital, for which she was grateful, & she asked God to allow him to live. show less

- Dedication
- To my special granddaughter - Laura Michelle Smith
All children are “special”, of course, and all grandchildren are extra special - because all of them come from God; they are the fruit of the womb - the reward of ... (show all)the Lord. No two have the same laugh, the same fingerprints, and each of them fires a special golden chain to bind himself to the heart of a parent or grandparent.
You are “ special,” Laura, because you have “special” parents. If it were not for their faith, you would not be alive on this earth! Stacy - my “special” daughter, the handmade of the Lord - and the light of her father’s eyes!
You are “special,” my Laura, because God has used you to increase the faith of others.
You are “special” because although God has not yet made you complete, He has given His promise that what He has begun he will complete.
And you are “special” because you exactly fill that space in my heart that no other child or grandchild could fill. Without you, I would be incomplete. - First words
