Content descriptions
Summary, etc.: | "Caleb Jackson is on a journey. And not just the mission he and his friends have embarked on to fetch the Nez Perce chief's runaway daughter. Maybe someday, he could also find God's plan for his life. He'd once thought being a small town minister was the Lord's will for him, but he'd proved a failure at living under the scrutiny of his congregation. Yet the chief's niece and her feisty toddler accompanying them on this expedition make him feel like he might be able to make a difference yet. Otskai is eager to take on a challenge. She's lived under the shelter of other's choices her entire life, especially when she was betrothed to one of the village braves at the tender age of eight. Now with her husband's death, she's finally found the freedom she always craved--even with a two-year-old to raise. She's built her camas root harvest into a thriving trade to provide all she and her son need and more, yet she can't seem to keep her active child safe. When she agrees to accompany her new friends on a trip to bring back her wayward cousin, she knows she'll have her hands full managing her boy. The journey turns out nothing like Otskai expects, and for the first time in her life, she's thankful to have others around to help. Especially Caleb, whose gentle attentions captivate her son and occupy him for hours at a time. But as the danger escalates and her worst fears come to light, she must find the courage to choose between freedom and a love more liberating than she imagined possible." --Back cover. |

Summary
Courage in the Mountain Wilderness
Keeping her son safe on this epic journey may be harder than she imagined. âââââââ Otskai never wished her husband dead, but her new-found freedom-something she's never been allowed-brings a relief she willingly embraces. Even her two-year-old son's penchant for danger doesn't daunt her. When she's asked to join the group sent to bring back her runaway cousin, how can she refuse? Yet their journey is more dangerous than she-and her son-are prepared for. Caleb Jackson has embraced the mission the Nez Perce Chief sent him and his friends on. With his past shadowed in failure, maybe he can find new purpose for his future somewhere in these wild Montana mountains. When Otskai joins the group, he's more than willing to help with her feisty toddler, especially when the boy looks at Caleb with such unbridled adoration. Oksai is another matter. Even as her resilience and quiet beauty weave into Caleb's heart, she's determined to push him away. But no journey into the wilderness comes without cost. When their perils escalate, Otskai must face her worst fears and decide if independence is worth the price-and heartache-for both her and her son. From a USA Today bestselling author comes another epic trek through breathless landscapes and adventure so intense, no one will never be the same.
