From the bestselling author of These Is My Words comes this
exhilarating follow-up to the beloved Sarah's Quilt. In the latest
diary entries of pioneer woman Sarah Agnes Prine, Nancy E. Turner
continues Sarah's extraordinary story as she struggles to make a
home in the Arizona Territory. It is winter 1906, and nearing
bankruptcy after surviving drought, storms, and the rustling of her
cattle, Sarah remains a stalwart pillar to her extended family.
Then a stagecoach accident puts in her path three strangers who
will change her life. In sickness and in health, neighbor Udell
Hanna remains a trusted friend, pressing for Sarah to marry. When
he reveals a plan to grant Sarah her dearest wish, she is
overwhelmed with passion and excitement. She soon discovers,
however, that there is more to a formal education than she
bargained for. Behind the scenes, Sarah's old friend Maldonado has
struck a deal with the very men who will become linchpins of the
Mexican Revolution. Maldonado plots to coerce Sarah into
partnership, but when she refuses, he devises a murderous plan to
gain her land for building a railroad straight to Mexico. When
Sarah's son Charlie unexpectedly returns from town with a new
bride, the plot turns into an all-out range war between the two
families. Finally putting an end to Udell's constant kindnesses,
Sarah describes herself as an iron-boned woman. She wants more than
to be merely a comfortable fill-in for his dead wife. It is only
through a chance encounter that she discovers his true feelings,
and only then can she believe that a selfless love has at last
reached out to her. . . .
History teacher Raine Carson suddenly finds herself running for her
life through the grassy hills of 1555 Scotland from a band of angry
and murderous brigands when only that very morning she had awoken
in her own bed in the modern day world. She should never have
agreed to participate in her colleague's experiment when he told
her about the strange outcrop of stones that he had discovered
hidden in the midst of the Colorado mountains. Suddenly the powers
of the universe began to swirl around her as she was sucked through
time and deposited in the lap of ancient history. Luckily Leith
MacGregor, Laird of Hell's Gate, offers his protection against the
marauders but only because he mistakes her for his betrothed, a
woman he had yet to lay eyes upon. Unwilling to believe the exotic
explanation of having traveled through time from the future,
Leith's curiosity is, however, piqued about the stones responsible
for her strange arrival. With the help of the local priest who also
doubles as the town astronomer, the three embark on an adventure to
find the stones and unlock the mystery and power they hold. Raine's
urgency and determination to return to her modern world is shaken
by her growing feelings for the Scottish Laird who offers to share
his world with her. She must decide between returning alone to her
home she so desperately misses or accept the offer of a new home
and a new life in the ancient highlands with the man who has stolen
her heart.

Now available in trade paper with an eye-catching new cover from
the bestselling author of Becoming Mrs. Lewis: Megs Devonshire sets
out to fulfill her younger brother George's last wish by uncovering
the truth behind his favorite story. The answer provides hope and
healing and a magical journey for anyone whose life has ever been
changed by a book. 1950: Margaret Devonshire (Megs) is a
seventeen-year-old student of mathematics and physics at Oxford
University. When her beloved eight-year-old brother asks Megs if
Narnia is real, logical Megs tells him it's just a book for
children, and certainly not true. Homebound due to his illness, and
remaining fixated on his favorite books, George presses her to ask
the author of the recently released novel The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe a question: "Where did Narnia come from?" Despite her
fear about approaching the famous author, who is a professor at her
school, Megs soon finds herself taking tea with C. S. Lewis and his
own brother Warnie, begging them for answers. Rather than directly
telling her where Narnia came from, Lewis encourages Megs to form
her own conclusion as he slowly tells her the little-known stories
from his own life that led to his inspiration. As she takes these
stories home to George, the little boy travels father in his
imagination than he ever could in real life. Lewis's answers will
reveal to Megs and her family many truths that science and math
cannot, and the gift she thought she was giving to her brother-the
story behind Narnia-turns out to be his gift to her, instead: hope.

betrayals, she and Paul begin a passionate affair, fueled by both

for love. The tragic tale of the house slowly unfolds, and Elia
recounts a story of love and unfaithfulness to Paul that only fuels
the spirits' plans to threaten her newfound happiness. In this
romantic paranormal thriller, two lovers must survive a ghostly
onslaught or else find themselves doomed to become part of the
tragic history that lurks in the shadows of The House of Pearl.
