Book Synopsis: Leaving behind her country and what she had left of a family Kathleen Macavee came to America, escaping the poverty of 1883 Ireland. She is to wed a man she knows nothing about. He could be a fine gentleman or he could be a murderer; he could be young or he could be old, he might be quite handsome or he could be quite ugly. None of these things mattered to the beautiful sixteen year old girl. She could no longer remain where she was. Drew Bryant turned out to be a very handsome young man when he met her at the stage coach. They were wed the same day that Kathleen arrived. The trip had been so long and tedious that she vowed that if he had changed his mind and did not want her, she would throw herself under the wheels of the stage rather than get back on it. The two young people soon learned to love one another and made a home together in the early West of New Mexico territory. Life was not easy and there were many adventures; just days after arriving Kathleen had the dubious honor of delivering the twin babies of their only neighbors. There was the time Kathleen was kidnapped and taken to be sold by a man who had accosted her on the stage. As soon as Drew learns she is missing he follows after and finds his young bride. Between the two of them they remove the threat of this dandy from their lives. Life was never easy on the frontier nor was it for the Bryant family, for they were truly a family who loved, laughed, cried and prayed. In the end all of their prayers were answered.. |

Book Synopsis: Mark is the adopted son of Drew and Kathleen Bryant, not only did Kathleen adopted him but Mark adopted her as his mother. The young man had been a part of Drew’s family for the past four years. First he had looked at Drew as a big brother, but after Pappy Cobb died then the Franklin family moved in with two boys near Mark’s age, who had a Pa of their own; Mark decided he would rather have Drew as a Pa rather than a brother. He remembered little to nothing about the woman who had given birth to him. There were faint images that flitted across his mind in dreams of a woman holding out her arms and saying, "Come, come on you can do it. Come to Mama." Then Kathleen who had became his mama had been kidnaped and he feared he had lost the only mother he had ever known, but Drew, his papa had brought her back. Later she had him a little brother and he was so happy. Sometime after they had told him that they were adopting him by law. They said that if someone chose to come take him away, if they had any kind of proof that they were related by blood then they could not stop them. So they had did what ever it was that had to be done and adopted him legally. Mark had thought a lot about it, and wasn’t sure if he wanted to know if anyone came that really was kin to him. Once they told him that it was all finished and he was their son legally, he didn’t care if some one came saying he was kin to them. It wouldn’t be bad to know if he had maybe a grandma and grandpa or aunts and uncles and cousins, but he wouldn’t want to have to leave the only family he had ever known to go live with strangers. |

Book Synopsis: Leonora Anders had always been called spunky, even daring in her day, but now as a middle-aged woman she found her adventurous spirit waning. For years, while raising her seven children with her husband Mark, Leonora had been an avid camper and outdoorswoman. What had begun as leadership roles in 4H and Cub & Girls Scouts graduated to the position of Youth Leader at her local church. All of that was in the past. It had been two years since Leonora had voluntarily turned over the reins of the Youth Group leadership to a younger crowd when she reluctantly found herself as one of the sponsors of a weekend campout in the rugged mountains of New Mexico. In a freak accident, Leonora was lost to the rest of her group and having been presumed dead, she is left in the mountains to make her way through the long, cold winter alone with only sparse provisions and the crude weapons that she had fashioned herself. Throughout her life Leonora had always trusted God in every circumstance, but she could not help but wonder why she had been left like this. She had always believed everything happened for a reason, but this was beyond her understanding. Leonora may have found the answer to her question when she witnesses a plane crash about three miles from her shelter. Hiking through the deep snow to the scene of the crash, she uncovers her worst fears and the true meaning of redemption. |
