This is the story of the eldest of Samuel Hart's daughters from THE PREACHER'S WIFE. The author has made an excellent transition; Elizabeth has become a cautious young woman, always searching for the right decision. But her well-ordered life is severely shaken when she is on a train that is robbed. Refusing to give up her dead mother's ring (worn around her neck), she sets off a chain reaction of events that lead to the deaths of most of the robbers and the injuring of her seating companion, Gabriel Taggart.
Gabe has an interesting back story; he is on the train to see his abandoned land, planning to build a home for himself and his sister, Irene. His sister has spent most of her life in boarding schools; she has no idea what Gabe did to pay the fees.
Instead of building that house, Gabe winds up wounded at the preacher's house with Elizabeth as his reluctant nurse. Elizabeth quotes Scripture to Gabe in passing. It is quite humorous when he tries to guess who said it. Obviously, Gabe was not brought up going to church.
In order for them to be together, Elizabeth and Gabe and must each change. This is a pleasant, well-paced story. It was nice to see the Hart family again. I hope the author writes further about this interesting group of individuals.
