Description

A delightful new western romance and New York Times bestseller from the author of Redeeming Love.

New York Times bestselling author Francine Rivers returns to the California frontier in this sweeping, romantic tale of a displaced New England suffragette, a former Union soldier disinherited by his Southern family, and the town they join forces to save.

1875. When Kathryn Walsh arrives in tiny Calvada, a mining town nestled in the Sierra Nevadas, falling in love is the farthest thing from her mind. Banished from Boston by her wealthy stepfather, she has come to claim an inheritance from the uncle she never knew: a defunct newspaper office on a main street overflowing with brothels and saloons, and a seemingly worthless mine. Moved by the oppression of the local miners and their families, Kathryn decides to relaunch her uncle's newspaper―and then finds herself in the middle of a maelstrom, pitted against Calvada's most powerful men. But Kathryn intends to continue to say―and publish―whatever she pleases, especially when she knows she's right.

Matthias Beck, owner of a local saloon and hotel, has a special interest in the new lady in town. He instantly recognizes C. T. Walsh's same tenacity in the beautiful and outspoken redhead―and knows all too well how dangerous that family trait can be. While Kathryn may be right about Calvada's problems, her righteousness could also get her killed. But when the handsome hotelier keeps finding himself on the same side of the issues as the opinionated Miss Walsh, Matthias's restless search for purpose becomes all about answering the call of his heart.

Everyone may be looking to strike it rich in this lawless boomtown, but it's a love more precious than gold that will ultimately save them all.

• Engrossing plot that's perfect for fans of Christian romance
• Western historical fiction set in the wake of the Gold Rush
• Interwoven with themes of compassion and redemption

I loved this book from start to finish. Once I started, I had a hard time putting it down. I finished it in one day and laughed and grimaced and cheered the whole way through. Full of life lessons, well-written characters, and historic imagery, this book instantly became a favorite of mine.
Thank you Francine

What a fun story, but one filled with many lessons. Turns out one person CAN make a difference, and Kathryn sure did!
