Gail Marsh set out for California with a dream, a trunk full of weaving supplies, and a hired guide who robbed her blind before dawn. Stranded on a Missouri road with nothing but her determination, she accepts a ride from a kind couple headed to a small town called Deepwater. She is anxious to leave, and has land to find, sheep to raise, and a life to build entirely on her own terms.
Walter Briggs is a man who works best with iron. It doesn't ask questions, doesn't expect anything from him, and never reminds him of what he left behind in Indiana. He tells himself he's content, and almost believes it until a determined woman with wheat-colored hair and a no-nonsense attitude arrives in town and makes him wonder if contentment is really enough.
But when a half-forgotten newspaper clipping surfaces from the bottom of Gail's trunk, and the blacksmith stalls fixing her wagon, she realizes that Walter Briggs may not be as unfamiliar as she thought. But it takes a storm and a fallen tree to force them both to stop pretending, and show Gail that the life she was riding toward may have been waiting here all along.
Each of these stories, while part of a series, is a complete standalone, and can be enjoyed in any order.
Genre: Inspirational
