by Ralph Conner, Harold Bell Wright

This is a compelling tale of the Canadian West in the late 19th Century. Thomas Skyler young, green, sent on his first assignment as a pioneer preacher to the rugged foothill region of Swan Creek. But the rough-and-tumble hard-drinking cowboys aren’t so sure they like the idea of a preacher in their midst.

I loved this story and read it two time already. A beautiful and clean love story

[David]

Refreshingly simple, surprisingly moving, this tale portrays the early days of Western Canadian settlement in vivid detail. Through the eyes of an observing narrator, this story shows us the struggle and ultimate triumph in grappling with our humanity and forming a community. Indirectly, it also provides insight into the experiences, lifestyle and mindsets of early pioneers.
