Publisher Description

Suddenly all alone in 1894 Kansas, Summer Steadman can't find the employment she needs to settle near the fresh graves of her husband and four children. Bitter against the Lord and refusing to eat, she collapses in despair. Remembering his own painful loss, godly widower Peter Ollenbuger offers her food and shelter for tutoring his 10-year-old son.

Kim Vogel Sawyer has penned an inspiring debut novel whose unforgettable characters resonate with emotional intensity and compelling authenticity.

"These books from Kim Vogel Sawyer bring back many memories of my Bretheren roots! When Summer bought Thomas the game "Authors" I was instantly transported to my childhood and the days and evenings spent asking "Do you have James Fennimore Coopers Last of the Mohicians?" I love watching her people struggle through their trials and tribulations. I could instantly empathise with both Summer and Peter as they struggled to find the right path. Awesome read!"
