New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray
takes us to the year 1866 with the story of a second chance at love--and
the power of forgiveness
Amish widow Sarah Ropp lives a quiet, solitary life since losing her
husband in the Civil War. That is, until the night she discovers a man
in her barn claiming to be Daniel--not killed, only injured. Though
horribly burned on his face, he resembles Daniel, and Sarah accepts him
hesitantly. After all, who else could he be?
Jonathan Scott has nothing to live for but the memories of a fellow
soldier. Daniel Ropp had talked endlessly about his wife, Amish
faith--and the money he'd buried near his barn. John only intends to
take the money, but when his heart begins to open to this kind woman,
suddenly living a lie isn't so easy.
Though relieved by his safe return, Sarah begins to have doubts about
this "new" Daniel. He's more patient, gentler--nothing like her hard
husband. But as her heart reopens to him, she must know the truth. If
her doubts are confirmed, will Sarah be able to forgive the deceit and
find a second chance at happiness?
