Small Great Joys: Resilient Hearts Historical Romances Book 1

Not fallen. Not broken. Not whole.

It is 1880, Nebraska. All seventeen-year-old Angel wants is to go someplace where no one knows her name and—more importantly—where no one knows what happened to her. However, Angel’s plans are disrupted when she becomes stranded in an unfamiliar town. With no way to leave and no place to stay, Angel finds aid in an unexpected place: Nathan, a childhood acquaintance with scars of his own.

All nineteen-year-old Nathan wants is to leave every memory of his father far, far behind. But when Nathan’s path leads him to Angel—the source of a memory that has simultaneously sustained and tormented him over the past seven years—he is forced to revisit his past and reexamine ideas he had held as self-evident truths.

At first, both Nathan and Angel count the days until she will be able to leave. But as their feelings for one another grow and they face the prejudices of the townspeople together, Nathan and Angel find allies in unexpected places and begin to hope that maybe—just maybe—they will find healing as well.
