Finding Home

Chicago, 1861 After years of painful separation, Justin Young finally locates his orphaned siblings—on opposite sides of the Civil War. Setting aside his budding romance, he brings his widowed sister and younger brothers home to Chicago, determined that the ties of the same blood are strong enough to bring them together despite the secrets they each carry from their pasts. But faced with his inadequacies as a provider and leader, Justin discovers that real love is the hard work of granting grace and second chances to imperfect, hurting people with whom he has nothing in common.

Now that the Civil War is over, Jed Young has reconciled with his siblings, made peace with God, and is ready to settle down and start his new life. Somewhere out of the city. Somewhere quiet. Somewhere far, far away from women. Mary Pierce has a picture-perfect life with three beautiful daughters and a lumberjack husband who adores her. When tragedy alters the course of her life, Mary has to lean on God in deeper ways, learning to navigate her challenging new path. Unable to look away from the suffering of his friends, Jed steps in, taciturn and steady but clueless of social convention.
