Amazing Grace

Caleb hurried to the post office. He had to get in and out before his sister finished at the general store. "Any mail for the Stuarts?" he asked the postmaster.The postmaster took a lazy look at him over the top of his eyeglasses and gave a heaving sigh as he turned around to check. "Yep. Somethin' from Ohio and somethin' from Montana."Tapping his foot, Caleb waited until the large man put the letters lazily in his hand. As he left he wondered why Anna had written someone in Montana and who she knew in Montana. It was really none of his business, but he was still curious. He folded the Ohio letter in half and stashed it in his back pocket. It would get wrinkled, but at least Anna wouldn't know about it.As Caleb struggles through some inner battles, he secretly starts a correspondence with a widow and her daughter. Their unabashed faith in God convicts him and increases his inner struggles.Unable to find a steady job, Maggie places an advertisement to become a mail-order bride. Her daughter, Rachel, is her motivation and encouragement, but if Maggie doesn't find a job or husband soon, Rachel might not survive through the next year.Can Caleb learn to trust God despite his past? Can Maggie and Rachel hold onto their faith despite all their trials? What will happen when they meet in person?While this book can be read as a stand alone, it would be easier to understand some portions of the story if you read the second book of the series, Be Thou My Vision first.
