Book Description
Penelope Williamson’s classic bestseller blends the best of historical western and Amish romance in a sweeping tale “sure to please any fan of good old-fashioned storytelling” (Library Journal). A daughter of the faith…a stranger with a gun…a forbidden love. Throughout the years on her Montana homestead, Rachel Yoder had never been afraid—the creed of the Plain People had been her strength. Then the day came when lawless men killed Rachel’s husband in an act of blind greed. Now, at her darkest hour, an outsider walks across her meadow and into her life… Johnny Cain is bloody, near death, and armed to the teeth. A man hardened by his violent past, Cain has never known a woman like Rachel—someone who offers him a chance to heal more than his physical wounds. Cain’s lazy smile and teasing ways steal Rachel's heart and confound her soul. Soon she must choose between all she holds dear—her faith, her family, perhaps her very salvation—and the man they call the Outsider.

Book Description
The genre and style of Derryl G. Berry’s “Short Stories” is quite varied. Some are straightforward, first- or third- persons POV. Some are off-the-wall perspectives and musings. Some are “circular” in that they begin and end pretty much at the same point, e.g., “Let’s Act Normal.” Many of Derryl’s short stories began as an idea that came to him while hiking and were fleshed out later, e.g., “Five Shots,” and “The Empty Hook.” Others were triggered by a passing comment, e.g., “Who in the World Is Jimmy Kent?” A few have a touch of biographical near reality. Others are plain fantasy, e.g., “Misspelled” and “Kong Is Dead.” A few are retellings of biblical stories. Others, Derryl doesn’t know from where the ideas came.
