Abiding Peace (White Mountain Brides Book 3)

Description

Since her redemption from Canada, Christine Hardin has led a quiet, unassuming life. She cares tirelessly for Pastor Samuel Jewett’s motherless children and is content. But one night Christine discovers a man snooping about outside the cottage she shares with a widow. At knifepoint, he swears her to secrecy and demands that she supply him with food. To save the pastor’s children from harm, Christine complies with his demands, even finding herself stealing from her friends. When murder finds its way to Cochecho, however, she can no longer be silent. Her confession put a strain on the tentative but growing relationship between her and the preacher. Who can know the ways of the Lord? They are far beyond man’s ways, and Christine and Samuel learn this lesson well.
