She believes she doesn’t matter.
Jenny Millard’s hopes for security and stability as a schoolmarm out west are dashed when her schoolhouse closes, and no positions are available nearby. With only enough money for a one-way train fare, Jenny heads to her friend’s home uncertain of her next step.
His scars have made him an unlovable outcast.
Newcomer Ren Lyman prefers to keep to himself, hiding in the back of the blacksmith shop to avoid the stares at the scars left by a childhood accident. When he comes across a lost stranger, he’s surprised when she doesn’t recoil at his appearance, and even more so at his eagerness to assist her.
As Jenny settles into the welcoming, but small, town of Washton, she can’t help but come across Ren, especially since his daily constitutional takes him along the same path. It doesn’t take long for them to form a connection that breaks down the walls erected by years of hurt. But when strange occurrences unsettle the townspeople, it seems their chance at happiness might be at risk.
Will Jenny and Ren discover that they’re enough—for God, and each other?
Excerpt
The suitcase bumped against Ren’s leg as he headed back the way he came. He should’ve said goodbye but couldn’t get the words out. For that was what it had to be. Goodbye. He cringed as he replayed the interaction with the teacher. He was unprepared
for a woman to reach out a hand to shake like a man. Reacted too slowly.
And then Miss Millard noticed his deformity.
He squeezed his hand closed and let the residual pain from the tightness in the skin numb the other emotions flowing through him. Her hesitation over him handling her belongings punched him in the gut. There was no chance of continuing a friendship now. Although her words at the end confused him.
A true knight of service.
Why would she say that if she was horrified by his hand?
