Seventeen year old heiress Lucinda Bishop of Boston is mourning the death of her parents. Amid her grief, she finds love, protection, acceptance, and security in the home of an aunt and uncle--her mother’s sister and brother-in-law—on a ranch in Oklahoma Territory. Because she is due to inherit a sizable estate when she becomes of age, another uncle--her father’s brother from Boston--pursues her with the evil intention of preventing her from seeing her eighteenth birthday. During the months preceding the date of her inheritance, Lucinda learns what it means to fully and contentedly trust in a heavenly Father.

Jake Starnes is a drifter who is running from a troubled past. Even though he is working as a lowly ranch hand for Lucinda’s aunt and uncle, Jake can’t stop his heart from falling for Miss Lucinda. As he learns more about God’s love, he realizes he must face the consequences of his past.

Martha Rogers's debut novel is a delightful story of two young people who find a home and family within the circle of God’s love, and God is faithful to forgive when one places their trust in Him. The reader will care about Lucinda and Jake because the author has made the characters real.

This book is an easy, relaxing read. When you turn the last page, the characters and the satisfying ending will make a smile linger on your face. Treat yourself to this book. You won't be disappointed. The sequel, MORNING FOR DOVE, is out now.
