But for Grace

Now widowed after a loveless marriage, young Hope Parker wants to save her son from self-destruction. Oregon seems like a perfect place for their future, yet the wagon trains won't take single women along. For Andy Riley, life has held nothing but sorrow, disappointment, and pain. When he awakens in a strange bed after a merciless beating, he realizes his options are few - pay what he owes with cash or his life. An arranged marriage between Hope and Andy seem to make sense - Andy's debts can be settled and Hope will find a new chance at life. Yet when the Lord begins changing hearts, will these two allow themselves to believe that His ever leasting hope can surpass their own dreams?

Everlasting Hope

On the harsh Kansas frontier, strength means survival. Cassidy is forced to marry a stranger. Tarah risks everything to save two boys. Laney determines to steer her own course. Emily throws social convention to the wind. Can these headstrong women open their hearts to possibilities of faith and love?

Hearts Adrift Find a Place to Dwell in Four Romantic Stories

Kansas Home

Already frustrated by the incorrigible students she teaches on the Kansas frontier, Tarah is further troubled when Anthony Greene, the one man she has always loved, returns to town. And she is certainly not ready to graciously accept his apparent preference for the simpering Louisa Thomas, the banker's daughter who obviously has designs for the handsome young preacher. But the appearance of two abused children in the community changes everyone. How will Tarah be able to win the trust of Laney and Ben and help them to build a new life? Will she be able to accept the gifts of friendship from Anthony, if that is all he is willing to offer? And will her heart be open to lessons God has for her in a situation that seems to offer only heartache and loneliness?

Tarah's Lessons

When given the opportunity to buy the local mercantile, Emily St. John snaps it up - mostly because it will allow her to work side by side with the man she's loved since childhood. Surely, he'll finally pay attention to her. But Jeremiah Daniels can't believe it. He's scrimped and saved in order to buy the store he works in... and he's waited to court Emily until he had it and could provide well for her. Now, he figures, she can just keep her store and spend her spare time working for women's suffrage. He's going to open a shop of his own. All is fair in love and war, it's said - but can this stubborn pair rise above their pride and see God's plan is for them to be together?

Emily's Place

All her life, Aimee longed to secure Greg's affections. When she finally admits failure, Aimee flees to the sanctuary of her aunt and uncle's orphanage and finds Georgie - or rather, the motherless baby finds her. The 1870s lend little assistance to Rex Donnelly as he searches for his son. After six years he locates the boy in the company of the spirited Aimee Riley and knows he's got his work cut out for him. She is determined to keep her "son" and refuses to extend the slightest courtesy to the widower. Yet, there is an attraction that sparks between the adults. Could the Lord have plans to draw them together in a love so tender - not just as a father and mother for little Georgie, but also as man and wife?

Raised in No Man's Land - a wide-open tract west of the Oklahoma territory - the Stafford siblings stitch together a legacy of faith and family history. But each one struggles to recognize the arrival of true love: Micah can't imagine falling for the refined visitor from the East who "can't ride a horse or shoot a gun." Louisa, a tomboy, almost loses a chance at love by trading her holster for ribbons and bows. Josh is surprised to find the "young man" he rescued is actually Rachel Donovan, disguised to survive the harsh pioneer terrain. Sam takes a closer look - through God-colored spectacles - and discovers a sweet, soft spirit in his bumbling bride-to-be. In spite of the prejudices, false assumptions, and misleading disguises, God can tie up the loose threads of these lives and bestow His own plan - the unexpected perfection of love.
