12,99 $De la autora de éxito de mayor venta internacional Amor redentor llega una historia nueva y animada de romance occidental
Francine Rivers regresa a la frontera de California con esta nueva historia romántica de una sufragista desplazada de Nueva Inglaterra, un ex soldado de la Unión desheredado por su familia y la ciudad que juntos planean salvar.
1875. Cuando Kathryn Walsh llega al pequeño pueblo minero de Calvada en Sierra Nevada, enamorarse no figura en su imaginación. Desterrada de Boston por su padrastro rico, ella llega a reclamar una herencia del tío que nunca conoció: una oficina de periódico desaparecido en una calle principal rebosante de burdeles y salones, y una mina aparentemente sin valor alguno. Conmovida por la opresión de los mineros locales y sus familias, Kathryn decide relanzar el periódico de su tío... y entonces se encuentra en medio de una vorágine, enfrentada a los hombres más poderosos de Calvada. Pero Kathryn tiene la intención de seguir diciendo, y publicando, lo que le plazca, en especial cuando sabe que tiene razón.
Matthias Beck, propietario de un salón y hotel local, tiene un interés especial en la nueva dama que ha llegado al pueblo. Reconoce de inmediato la tenacidad de C. T. Walsh en la hermosa y franca, y él sabe muy bien lo peligroso que puede ser ese rasgo familiar. Aunque Kathryn tenga razón acerca de los problemas del pueblo, su justicia también podría costarle la vida. Pero el apuesto hotelero se sigue encontrando de acuerdo con la obstinada señorita Walsh, y la inquieta búsqueda de Matthias por un propósito lo lleva a responder al llamado de su corazón. Puede que todos estén buscando hacerse ricos en esta ciudad en auge y sin ley, pero será un amor más precioso que el oro lo que los salvará a todos al final.
A delightful, lively Western romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and The Masterpiece.
Francine Rivers returns to the California frontier in this sweeping, romantic tale of a displaced New England suffragette, a former Union soldier disinherited by his Southern family, and the town they join forces to save.
1875. When Kathryn Walsh arrives in tiny Calvada, a mining town nestled in the Sierra Nevadas, falling in love is the furthest thing from her mind. Banished from Boston by her wealthy stepfather, she has come to claim an inheritance from the uncle she never knew: a defunct newspaper office on a main street overflowing with brothels and saloons, and a seemingly worthless mine. Moved by the oppression of the local miners and their families, Kathryn decides to relaunch her uncle’s newspaper-and then finds herself in the middle of a maelstrom, pitted against Calvada’s most powerful men. But Kathryn intends to continue to say-and publish-whatever she pleases, especially when she knows she’s right.
Matthias Beck, owner of a local saloon and hotel, has a special interest in the new lady in town. He instantly recognizes C. T. Walsh’s same tenacity in the beautiful and outspoken redhead-and knows all too well how dangerous that family trait can be. While Kathryn may be right about Calvada’s problems, her righteousness could also get her killed. But when the handsome hotelier keeps finding himself on the same side of the issues as the opinionated Miss Walsh, Matthias’s restless search for purpose becomes all about answering the call of his heart. Everyone may be looking to strike it rich in this lawless boomtown, but it’s a love more precious than gold that will ultimately save them all. Saber más -

He seemed like the perfect pastor to lead Centerville Christian Church.
She was the perfect pastor’s wife.
When Paul Hudson accepted the call to pastor the struggling church, he had no idea what to expect. But it didn’t take long for Paul to turn Centerville Christian Church around. Attendance was up-way up. Everything was going so well. If only his wife could see it that way. Still, he tried not to let her quiet presence disturb him. She knew something wasn’t right, and it hadn’t been for a long time. . . .
Eunice closed the bedroom door quietly and knelt beside her bed. "I’m drowning, God. I’ve never felt so alone. Who can I turn to but you, Lord? Where else does a pastor’s wife go for help when her marriage is failing and her life is out of control? Who can I trust with my anguish, Lord? Who but you?"

But Zeke knows the circumstances surrounding her birth have etched scars deep in her heart, scars that leave her vulnerable to a fast-talking charmer who lures her to Tinseltown.
