After a visit to her family in Louisville, young Mercy Randolph returns to her new home in Sweetriver, Kansas, and suddenly finds herself in the midst of dangers moving as fast as a tornado.
Meanwhile, Jeremiah must learn to deal with his new faith and his new love—while risking everything he has to save his reckless nephew from the evil plans of the Medicine Bow Gang. Mercy is tested in ways she could never have imagined and must decide if she has the boldness and wisdom to thwart the gang’s schemes. Will her bravery be enough to guarantee her a future with Jeremiah?
In the antebellum South, Richmond and Carolyn Davidson live lives of ease as wealthy plantation owners. But even though their wealth and livelihood depends on slave ownership, their Christian consciences speak against the practice.
When the Davidsons decide to follow their own moral judgment and God’s will by freeing their slaves, they face consequences they never could have anticipated. Risking their lives as an important link in the Underground Railroad helping runaway slaves escape to the Northern states, the Davidsons must rely on their wits—and God’s protection—to stay alive.
