If any town needed guidance on the path to peace it was wild and dangerous Jefferson, Texas. Delivering it was the widowed Reverend Daniel McLain's calling. Unfortunately, Daniel's own serenity is disrupted when his young daughter's nanny abandons her job, leaving the widower to appeal to his late wife's family for help... But instead of the elderly aunt he's expecting, he's greeted by Karlee Whitworth, the family's forlorn cousin who's desperate for a place to stay. Now two lost souls are about to discover a kindred spirit, and the courage they need to find the happiness they were destined to share.
