Cottonwood, Iowa 1875 Lydia Walcott is on the run. With a broken
arm and a wounded spirit she is escaping the hands of her cruel
brother and the marriage he has arranged. She's running to the
unknown, praying that God will lead her steps. Seeking shelter from
an ice storm in a livery stall, Lydia goes to sleep hoping that in
this small town of Cottonwood she'll find a job, a place to live
and friends. Dr. Sterling Graham, having just delivered a baby,
rides back to town over the ice covered roads. He's confident and
secure in the knowledge that he is loved and respected by the
people of the Cottonwood. Exhausted from the long night, he decides
to sleep on the cot in the livery. Sterling's reputation and
career, along with Lydia's hope for a new life, are put in jeopardy
when gossips spread the news that, "Doc spent the night in the
stable with a woman." The story grows as 'facts' are added. Without
money to travel on west, Lydia feels trapped by her sense of
responsibility for the doctor's good name. Even with his practice
at risk, Sterling's compassion for the young woman whose physical
wounds he treated stirs his heart. Something needs to be decided
that will repair the damage to Sterling's career and give Lydia the
home and safety she needs. The unwelcome solution is that they
marry. How do they learn about each other and mesh two lives into a
successful marriage which honors God, while coping with issues of
trust, pride, epidemic and injury, and the fear that Lydia's
brother will find her?

LARGE PRINT 'The Lord giveth and Lord taketh away. Blessed be the
Name of the Lord.' The verse has special meaning to Drew Richards
and Katie Reed. Both are reeling from the worst loss they have ever
known. Drew lost his wife, Rachel, in childbirth. Katie, both her
husband and infant son in a fire. Now, to save Drew's newborn
daughter, he has to ask Katie to do the unthinkable; nurse his
daughter knowing each time will be like an arrow to her soul. Katie
knows the pain of losing both spouse and child at the same time.
She will do anything to keep Drew from experiencing that same pain.
What starts as an arrangement to care for Drew's children becomes a
marriage of convenience. Both are sure they will never love again,
but for the sake of Drew's children they decide to marry. Can love
grow from the giving of themselves for each other? Will a rash of
petty thefts and an interfering know-it-all cause more problems
than they can overcome? Will they live their lives in a loveless
marriage?
