1853 – Oregon
Fleeing the cruelty of her abusive husband, Mercy embarks on a perilous journey with her four-year-old son, seeking refuge in the company of a grieving family. Grief that is only compounded when Mercy’s husband catches up to them. In the span of one moment, tranquility is crushed beneath the boot of brutality.
Now, Mercy must navigate the treacherous terrain of her heart, torn between two men she’s bound to by debt and duty.
Micah, haunted by a love extinguished too soon and shackled by a sorrow that makes God seem distant, is gruff but protective and ignites a flame of yearning in the ash heap of her soul.
Gideon, though he finds solace in his faith, bears scars of his own. His gentle friendship awakens desires she thought long buried.
Join Mercy, Micah, and Gideon as they discover that amidst the dust and ashes of their pasts, the promise of a new beginning awaits those who dare to choose faith.
