A husband and son abandoned to forge a path alone. A young woman who sacrificed her dreams. How will the God of grace and hope help them find their way? At nineteen years old, Old Order Amish Jolene Keim was on the brink of happily-ever-after when everything changed, stealing the future she expected and burdening her with an unbearable decision. For the next ten years, Jolene throws herself into family life—and then she meets Andy Fisher. The horse trainer and father to a sweet nine year-old challenges her and holds up a mirror to issues Jolene has been unwilling to face. Andy is cautious about his deepening friendship with Jolene, but he believes she knows the truth about him – that he is a grass widower. As a man whose wife has abandoned him six years past, he is unable to divorce or remarry according to the Amish ways. Andy has wrestled with God concerning his reality, and he had found peace with the solitary future facing him…until he met Jolene. As Andy and Jolene find themselves confronted by difficult choices, will they trust in God's guidance—or will the allure of their deepening friendship only lead to further temptation?

Book Description
Once her girlish dreams were shattered, only a reclusive life could save her from society's clucking tongues--until a dashing charlatan gave her hope. In her dreams, Lady Elyssa Prescott could glide like the other young women across a glittering ballroom. In her slumber she could float daintily alongside a beguiled young man to a romantic tryst. But in the cold light of day, she knew that her twisted leg would never allow such girlish pleasures. It was this disfigurement that kept Lady Elyssa away from the manor house and on the back of her prized Arabian, racing the wind across the hills. There, with her hair flowing in tangled abandon, she could give her stallion a free reign. Only there could she escape the clucking tongues of the critical ton. Only there could she experience sweet moments of grace. It was on just such an afternoon that Brentan Montgomery, Earl of Charfield, caught his first glimpse of the beauty he had been hired to woo. The enchanting lady he had agreed to betray.

Book Description
Hope is hard to come by in the hard-luck town of Willow Creek. Sam Pickett and five young men are about to change that. Sam Pickett never expected to settle in this dried-up shell of a town on the western edge of the world. He's come here to hide from the violence and madness that have shattered his life, but what he finds is what he least expects. There's a spirit that endures in Willow Creek, Montana. It seems that every inhabitant of this forgotten outpost has a story, a reason for taking a detour to this place--or a reason for staying. As the coach of the hapless high school basketball team (zero wins, ninety-three losses), Sam can't help but be moved by the bravery he witnesses in the everyday lives of people--including his own young players--bearing their sorrows and broken dreams. How do they carry on, believing in a future that seems to be based on the flimsiest of promises? Drawing on the strength of the boys on the team, sharing the hope they display despite insurmountable odds, Sam finally begins to see a future worth living. Author Stanley Gordon West has filled the town of Willow Creek with characters so vividly cast that they become real as relatives, and their stories--so full of humor and passion, loss and determination--illuminate a path into the human heart.
