It's 1876, and 20-year-old Mattie Flynn is determined to make a fresh start after fleeing from her sinister boss in the gambling house where she was employed as a singer. Mattie travels to Deadwood, South Dakota, in search of her younger brother, who went ahead of her in hopes of making a fortune in the gold mines. All Mattie wants is a safe and respectable life for the two of them, but that doesn't seem to be her destiny as she faces more heartache and trials. Will the suspicious bottles of gold dust from her brother's claim be the key to her future...or does the handsome street preacher, who is always turning the other cheek, truly hold the answers to her deepest longings?

About the Author:
Stephanie Grace Whitson, bestselling author and two-time Christy Award finalist, pursues a full-time writing and speaking career from her home studio in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Review:
"Mattie's transformation from a woman fleeing her past to one embracing her future is deftly handled, and the changes in the lives of the minor characters add considerable texture. What is more, Whitson's decision to set this novel in 1876 allowed her to weave some fascinating history of the Black Hills into an already rich story. This book is a keeper for anyone who enjoys inspirational romance." --Historical Novels Review
