At fifteen, Abigail Morgan has learned doing what is right always comes at a cost. Still she is determined to keep her promise to God to take care of her brother Samuel. But when God derails her plan of heading west to start over in Portland, she's forced to trust the charity of the sisters of St. Catherine's Orphanage for the winter. Abigail quickly learns there are no secrets among orphans. But Abigail has secrets she will go to great lengths to keep anyone from knowing, especially Samuel.

After his ma's death, Matthew Mason found healing in becoming a healer like her. Between assisting his pa and the education provided by the sisters of St. Catherine's, he is on track to become the second doctor Bear Valley desperately needs. But as much as Matthew wants to become a doctor, he would trade it all for a closer relationship with his pa.

When a simple misstep sends Matthew's certain future colliding with Abigail's uncertain one, God teaches them to stop running, be still, and trust that He is the true healer of our wounds.
