Synopsis
A REFUSAL, AN UNEXPECTED SEPARATION, AND A CATASTROPHIC BLIZZARD—HOW WILL SHATTERED DREAMS LEAD TO GOD’S BLESSING?
Emily Kendrick, the pastor’s oldest daughter, had willingly put her dreams on hold for her family, for her dad had needed her to assume the responsibility for managing the household and teaching her siblings after their mom died. Now she is ready for the next chapter of her life to begin. When God asks her to wait even longer, will she trust Him, even when hundreds of miles separate her from the man she loves?
James McAllister is the oldest of the brothers on the Rugged Cross Ranch. Though he enjoys his position as foreman, the title he truly desires is husband. He has patiently courted Emily for several years, understanding how much her family needed her. When a devastating blizzard decimates the herd at the Rugged Cross Ranch, will James carry the weight alone or will his faith allow him to trust God?
The time finally comes for James to ask Pastor Kendrick for Emily’s hand, but he does not get the answer he expects. Will they be willing to wait for Pastor's--and ultimately God's—blessing—even when their every dream has shattered?
Follow God's perfect plan through this pioneer story of hope, trust, and family.
About the Author
Jill Dewhurst and her husband recently celebrated their twentieth anniversary. After working as an RN in cardiac critical care for thirteen years, Jill received a much prayed-for promotion to full-time Mom. Both of their boys joined their family through the gift of adoption. Their oldest son is a Leukemia survivor, and the youngest is a Type-1 diabetic. Jill's nursing skills are still used on a daily basis. Jill is also a homeschool mom, loving her opportunity to teach and to cherish the one-on-one time with her boys. When she can find some free time, she enjoys playing her flute, piano, and cello. She and her family love their church and serve in the music and children's ministries there. Jill has had a secret wish for many years to write a story that would inspire readers by reminding them of a God who loves them unconditionally and longs to have a personal relationship with them. Publishing her books has been a dream come true.
