About this book

Percy Morgan's life is shrouded in shadows-her past hidden and her future unknown. Where she has come from is her secret, but even Percy can't say what has drawn her to a burgeoning lumber camp. She watches as the small community wrestles with its own identity, afraid to share her own struggle to discover her own self worth. As hardened as she is by her past, Percy cannot resist the gentle nudges of the people around her. Her gruff exterior begins to soften under the friendship of the few women in the camp, and she has begun to attract the attention of the camp's doctor, Joshua Wells. The light of human and divine love beckon Percy to take a risk. Can she reopen the pain of the past and allow healing to begin?
