The House on Hope Creek: A Western Saga

About the book

An emotional telling of one family's fight against the odds to build a life and legacy on the Montana frontier. In 1867 in the years after the Civil War, Granda Able—a former slave—left the war-torn states to find a new life out west. What she found was a new family. Twenty years later, the children she adopted are grown, and through hardship, storm, and public prejudice the Able family has carved out a life from the untouched hills and valleys of the American west. Now, the patchwork family she's raised faces trying times which will test their bond and threaten to tear them apart at the seams. Malachi Able wouldn't say he's bitter, but things haven't exactly gone his way the last few years. Making sure his little brother isn't getting into trouble has been a full time job, only now he has a plan to fix things. Or so he thinks... Gloria Winter traveled to Montana Territory, eager for a life she's never known. When plans change, she must make a decision: return to what she escaped or marry a stranger to have the family she's always dreamed of. New trials loom on the horizon for the Rocking-Bar-A Ranch. With a rival ranch stirring up trouble for them and a mysterious stranger threatening their future, tension builds between the inhabitants of Hope Creek. Through faith in God and love for one another, they must face their differences, learn to forgive, and heal from old wounds if they are ever to face the storm together. And, maybe, come to the conclusion that family isn't just found, its forged.
