The end of the Civil War brings many changes in a country that is reeling from the crippling effect of broken trust and misunderstanding. Seventeen year old Jessica Compton is totally unaware of what is happening politically. She is too wrapped up in her own emotions to think about how the country might be faring. In a matter of days Jessie's daydream of happiness becomes a nightmare of murder with all fingers pointed toward a hangman's noose. When despair is at its peak, a stranger brings a liberating truth and Jessie learns faith is not an emotion but a decision.
Excellent read! Keeps you going. Don't want to put it down. Mystery, love story, the unexpected, murder, cover up, God's grace, love, and redemption through it all. 2nd in the series in my opinion better than the first! Can't wait to get the 3rd.
