A Baby at the Doctor's Ranch
Faith Crawford
In the early part of the 20th century, Rebekah King is seeking a new life. Abandoned by Gregory, the man who was supposed to be taking care of her, she finds herself alone and without skills, knowledge or a job. The people in town blame her for Gregory’s deplorable behavior and shun her because of it. Knowing that she cannot return to the Amish community she left to be with Gregory, Rebekah seeks the advice of friendly Pastor Aaron.
Aaron knows of a goldminer turned ranch hand, Andrew Cunningham, who is looking for a bride on the other side of the state. He offers to take her there, giving her the opportunity of safety and security.
But when Gregory shows up after she has settled in her new home and Rebekah discovers she is pregnant, decisions have to be made...
Can Gregory change and become the father her child needs? Or will Rebekah stay with Andrew, the ranch hand who has shown her so much affection since her arrival?
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This is a 16,000-word stand-alone story with an HEA, so no cliff-hangers.
