They must set aside their own plans and rely on their faith to bring their true destiny to light.

Lilac Nielsen’s dream has come true: handsome young Reverend Ethan Pritchard has finally noticed her. Yet she must balance this new courtship with the pursuit of another dream–the publication of her artwork in a New York paper. She has secretly been submitting a series of drawings under a pen name, and if anyone traces the drawings back to her and finds out where Lilac and her sisters settled, the entire Nielsen family could be in danger.

As their family farm expands and Lilac’s relationship with the reverend grows, it’s a time of new beginnings. But when a family crisis back in Ohio shakes the Nielsen sisters, can they continue to build the new life they’ve begun in Nebraska? And will Lilac be prepared for what God has in store for her future?

“A tender story. I know my readers will enjoy these stories and look forward to the books yet to come.”–TRACIE PETERSON, bestselling author of the Pictures of the Heart series

Excerpt

Yet another night he wouldn’t sleep till near daybreak. But though his body stumbled from weariness, his soul felt rested, despite the sorrow weighing on his heart for the Greenhill fam-ily. At times like these, he knew he was where he was meant to be, doing what he was meant to do. Most days, successfully following his father’s example felt as far off as those waning stars. But not tonight.

Ethan mounted his horse and made himself concentrate to stay awake through the ride home. Perhaps someday he’d have a wife to come home to after long nights at a sickbed. A wife who would have coffee waiting for him and a listening ear. He’d fought to be content as a single man on the frontier. Yet having now passed his twenty-ninth birthday, the longing for a home that wasn’t just a corner of someone else’s, and for a woman to share not only his life but the burdens of his ministry, grew ever sharper.

Especially after today—no, yesterday now—and that wonderful discovery of Lilac Nielsen. His pulse quickened at the thought of her. Her lively smile, that spark in her dark eyes, the way she came to his aid.

He’d had little direct interaction with her before, save that which had been with the whole family of sisters. But surely here on the frontier, courtship needed little preparation, especially in a small community like their own.

He only had to decide how best to approach her.
