It's not the life he dreamed of, but there aren't many prospects for a high-school dropout like him. Elderly widow Wilma Jacobsen carries a burden of guilt over her part in events that led to Pete leaving Sleeping Grass decades ago. Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling.

On leave from the FBI, Risa returns to her former career as an English teacher at a local college, only to see her past and present collide when one of her students, Carson Mercury, turns in an assignment that reads like an eyewitness account of her brother’s murder, with details never revealed publicly. Alarmed by Carson’s inside knowledge of Trenton’s death, Risa reaches out to her former partner at the FBI. Special Agent Gage Patterson has been working a string of baby kidnappings, but he agrees to help look into Carson’s background. Risa and Gage soon discover their cases might be connected as a string of high-value thefts have occurred at properties where security systems were installed by Carson’s stepfather and children have gone missing.

</p><p class="MsoNormal">Ever been tired?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m talking about the to-the-depths-of-your-soul kind of
tired that brings you to your knees and crushes your spirit. The kind of tired
that makes you want to sleep and cry out in despair at the same time. The kind
of tired that robs your joy and makes you not fun to be around.</p>

around in that kind of tired. How I got here is a toxic mashup of work
responsibilities and contractual obligations, with a large dose of stress and anger
and spiritual warfare thrown in for good measure. I’ve been feeling
overextended and underappreciated. I’ve been sad, and lonely, and bitter. I
stopped loving my work. I stopped loving my writing. Pretty much, I just flat
out stopped loving because when you’re filled with weariness and discouragement,
there’s no room left for love.<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But this week, God brought me to the Blue Ridge Mountains
for a writers’ conference. I hadn’t been to one in years, and I can tell you
this, coming to an event like this typically requires weeks if not months of
preparation. There are pitch sheets to write, proposals to draft, faculty and
class lists to study, business cards to order…the to-do list is lengthy, and I
did none of it. In fact, I stepped off the plane in North Carolina with my
computer and a highlighter in hand. No business cards. No pitch sheets. No
appointments scheduled and no agenda. And praise God for that, because what I found
at this conference was exactly what I needed. I found a stone of remembrance. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Everywhere I’ve looked, I’ve seen people who are leaning
into God for hope and strength and was reminded of years past when I spent just
as much time in the prayer rooms at conferences as I did in the classrooms. I’ve
seen writers with such longing on their faces that it reminded me I once felt
the same way. I’ve seen praises lifted up while tears streamed down and I remembered
standing in exactly the same place many times over. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There’s been energy and excitement, sorrow and instruction.
There’s been conversations over dinner and prayers in quiet corners. There’s
been laughter and tears. Food and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. But you know
what hasn’t been present? My tiredness.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now understand, my situation has not changed. In fact, when
I get home, I’ll probably be just as busy because college classes and work/writing
schedules have not changed and likely won’t for some time. But I have changed. I
had to travel 800 miles to get back to where I started…and that is to a place
of love and trust in my Father, who holds me tenderly in His capable hands. I’m
sure I’ll have to remind myself of this lesson many times over in the coming
months because my adversary just loves dragging me down following a spiritual
high. But that battle is for another day. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For now, I’m going to rest in a passage from Isaiah. I believe
the words are meant for me. Maybe they’re meant for you too:</p>

Like Miriam herself, the traumatized animal seems unlikely to recover—until skilled horse whisperer Reuben Brenneman arrives. A survivor of an abusive childhood, Reuben understands fear better than most.

Figuring out his next steps in life is more challenging than riding a bull for eight seconds. Surely there were better people more deserving of the new heart he received, people who had more to give back to society than a washed-up rodeo cowboy. Courtney is already struggling with the death of her husband, and the “temporarily relieved of duty” decree from her assistant chef position is too much to handle on her own. The decision to move home is not an easy one, but she doesn’t have much choice. At least not until the insurance company quits balking at paying out on the life insurance policy. When her truck breaks down just outside of Crossroads Creek, it’s Rusty to the rescue. Fate has brought them together, but the truth may not be something either one can handle. Will they rely on faith and trust their own hearts for the answers, or will they run from the past and destroy any chance at a future of happiness together?
