A Healing Heart

by Darlia Sawyer

Saving an outlaw’s life on her way to Texas hadn’t been part of Sophie Knowles plans. It pushed her from wanting to be a doctor to becoming the first female doctor in the small town of Nacogdoches. Acceptance won’t come easy, but Sophie’s determination keeps her moving forward. Wesley Johnson can’t shake the guilt from an apartment building fire which left him and his infant sister, Katie, orphaned in New York City. After living in an orphanage, at fifteen he flees his past looking to earn a better life for them both. After seven years and feeling like a failure, he contacts the orphanage only to find out Katie is on an orphan train heading west. Luke Nelson had proven himself a valuable foreman on Joshua Brown’s ranch. His luck with women left him disheartened. Maybe he was meant to be alone. A gang of cattle rustlers threatens their tiny town, throwing their lives into a passionate pursuit of justice. Will the gang’s ruthlessness destroy all they hold dear? Can Sophie prove her ability under pressure while Luke and Wesley search for the acceptance and healing their hearts crave?
