For most, it's the safest place on earth. For Gracie, it's the last place she wants to be...and the one place she must return. With nothing but five dollars and the wedding dress she's wearing, Gracie Lister flees with her daughter by train to West Texas, to the town she ran away from so long ago. There they find refuge in the home of Michael Wayne--devoted single father, seasoned soldier--who gives Gracie a job caring for his two children and the hiding place she needs from her former fiance. Michael and Gracie aren't looking for love, but it finds them right away. And then trouble comes to call in the form of Gracie's ex-fiance who is now on the FBI's most-wanted list. Together, Michael and Gracie must find the strength they need to protect their newly forged family. "Colleen weaves intrigue and God's love into a story full of carefully crafted characters. If you're looking for an awesome writer, I highly recommend her!" --Tracie Peterson, best-selling author of Dawn's Prelude, Song of Alaska Series "Colleen is a master storyteller." --Karen Kingsbury, best-selling author of Shades of Blue

While I enjoyed Gracie and Michael and their three kids, the suspense plot was so wildly unlikely that it damaged my enjoyment of the rest of the book. I've heard other folks talk about finding “TSTL” (too stupid to live) characters and Gracie would surely have died early on. Her lies to “avoid problems” (which of course only made the problems much bigger) also really got on my nerves.
The descriptions of the Big Bend area were really well done, and I'll still be reading more in this series (which so far has been about single moms moving to town and getting marriages of convenience to local guys).
