Poverty and abuse at the hands of her drunkard father leaves Hannah Bane trapped and alone. Without hope, she prays for a miracle just on the off-chance God will hear her. Will the handsome new deputy, who seems to be watching her every move, be Hannah’s one chance to escape the only life she’s ever known?
For as long as he can remember, John Mark Eliason has wanted to be a deputy sheriff. When a job opens in the nearby town of Poplar Springs, he eagerly accepts, but finds his greatest mission won’t be tracking down criminals and bringing justice to the ruthless Wyoming town, but saving a beautiful young woman he barely knows.
Will an unexpected answer to a difficult situation show how love can endure—and even thrive—in an unconventional situation? Or will fear and uncertainty keep two hesitant hearts apart?
A handsome deputy sheriff.
A woman in search of freedom.
An unconventional situation.
In the sequel to Forgotten Memories, author Penny Zeller weaves a tender tale of faith, romance, and humor in a memorable story that reminds us God hears every prayer and has a plan for every life.
Wyoming Sunrise Series
Prequel: Love's New Beginnings (Lydie and Solomon's story)
Book One: Forgotten Memories
Book Two: Dreams of the Heart
Book Three: When Love Comes (Late 2023)
Dreams of the Heart tugged at
my heart after reading the blurb. The fictional character of Hannah’s life is
realistic today with adults caring more about their addictions and evil ways to
survive than caring for a child. Thankfully there are more laws for offenders,
services for those in need and towns are established compared to Poplar
Springs, Wyoming in 1894.
John Mark is a new deputy
sheriff but grew up in a Christian home where serving God and others with
compassion and wanting to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate.
His notice of sweet Hannah while she’s waiting to drive her drunk father home
after the end of his gambling gave way to a well penned touching story. There’s
a mystery thread to who is behind all the criminal activities, along with a
gentle romance that is not the usual way to find a spouse, plus characters from
the previous book that are strong working citizens, compassionate and serving
the Lord with a heartfelt love to help Hannah heal. Zeller added in humor with
young Ambrose and his pet pig and even other scenes created laughter. The
Gospel is presented in a soft and easy matter that added beauty to this story.
I won a book from the author
through a Facebook party. I was under no obligation to write a positive review.
I have simply expressed my own thoughts.
