Refuge and Strength
(2025)(The first book in the Hope Valley Ranch Romance series)
A Story by Everlee Whitman
The tears that dripped from his eyes carried all the negative emotions with them.
Burned out and broken, Claire Bowman escapes the chaos of Chicago to find rest at Hope Valley Ranch. A sabbatical meant for healing turns into something far more demanding when she’s asked to mentor a withdrawn teenage girl in the ranch’s equine therapy program. The peaceful countryside near Sturgis, Michigan, stirs wounds Claire thought she could outrun and pits her against Eli Granger, the ranch’s stoic founder whose quiet strength masks a heart still grieving.
Eli has dedicated his life to second chances but he's not sure he deserves one himself. When Claire's bold spirit and stubborn hope challenge the carefully ordered life he’s built, their friction sparks something neither expected. As a sudden tragedy strikes the ranch, Claire and Eli must decide whether to guard their hearts or risk everything for the healing love God might be writing into their lives.
Set against the rolling farmland of southern Michigan, Hope Valley Ranch is more than a place—it’s a ministry. Through faith based mentoring, structured rhythms, and equine therapy, teens and adults alike find restoration in a community built on grace. Each book in this heartfelt series introduces a new romance woven into the tapestry of lives changed by the ranch's mission.
This series is based on Psalm 46:1-3 (NIV) ‘God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.’ My Soul is the first book in this six book series.
