“Told partly in narrative and partly through well researched historical diaries and letters, this is a very powerful story of forgiveness, redemption and new birth. Vitality flows through this book just a surely as the river flows next to the cabin. Any woman who believes–or least longs TO believe–in second chances should read this book.”
—Jackie Blem, Tattered Cover Book Store
“[An] exquisite, many-layered novel.”
