Elizabeth Morrison has inherited a small fortune, but a woman in 1840 doesn't usually go it alone.
With her sister Katherine missing and both parents gone to be with the Lord, she has no choice but to find her own way. Her journey takes her through an abandoned orchard, and she falls in love with derelict Sweet Grove – and its previous owner, Jonathan Bryant.
His father lost the family land in a bet, and his bitterness hasn't been sweetened by the fruit of his labour.
Can Elizabeth carve her own journey and make a home for herself while her sister is still missing? Can Jonathan be brave enough to put the past behind him and find purpose again?
Or will they both learn that life never goes in the direction you think, and love is always ready to take you on a different journey?
This is a sweet historical Western romance, with no passionate scenes, a happily ever after, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.
