When young Honor McCall’s beloved Aunt Harriet dies, she is left to the unmerciful clutches of her abusive Uncle Lucas. When Honor runs away from home to escape her abusive Uncle Lucas, her life takes some drastic turns. She finds a little bit of solace in a church, where she runs for temporary shelter. While in the house of God, she commits a petty crime since she has no money. The guilt from this crime follows her throughout the story. She escapes from her hometown by purchasing a stagecoach ticket. Jeth Peters, a handsome minister from a local town who presided over her aunt’s funeral, happens to be a passenger on the same stage coach. When the stage coach is robbed, Honor is injured and widowed Jeth Peters brings her to his home: a boarding house run by his mother. While Jeth and his mother nurse Honor back to health, they teach her about faith and God.

Honor falls for the handsome Pastor Jeth Peters, and Jeth is smitten with Honor. However, he cannot actively pursue her until she accepts Christ as her Lord and Savior.

Meanwhile, Uncle Lucas makes a spiritual journey on his own and as the story unwinds, the reader discovers that Uncle Lucas is connected to Jeth Peters in a most unusual way.

This is the first book I’ve ever read by Molly Noble Bull and I loved it! Her writing style was fresh and the words just flowed from the page, making the reader eager to finish the story. There was also a sprinkling of intrigue in the story as Honor and Uncle Lucas make their physical and spiritual journeys. I highly recommend this book as a nice, well-written, and emotional read.
