Rough Terrain

by Hadley Hoover

How much tension can a marriage sustain before it snaps? If you lose happily-ever-after, can you find it again?

Bram and Brigetta de Boer are just two kids who fell in love, but all too soon they need to know the answers to these heart-wrenching questions that test their vows and faith. Their life in the early 1900s in Dutchville, Iowa, was filled with tulips and sunshine, farming and family—until all they hold dear is swept away in one shattering event. They have only each other—but when a wrenching decision rocks their future, even that link weakens. Happily-ever-after seems impossible. Then, Bram is hired as the Steward at the Rochester State Hospital. Surely this fresh start where no one knows their secrets will salvage their marriage . . . right?

This story of love’s redemptive power in the face of tragedy balances laughter with tears while it searches the soul for answers to tough questions.
