After a visit to her family in Louisville, young Mercy Randolph returns to her new home in Sweetriver, Kansas, and suddenly finds herself in the midst of dangers moving as fast as a tornado.
Meanwhile, Jeremiah must learn to deal with his new faith and his new love—while risking everything he has to save his reckless nephew from the evil plans of the Medicine Bow Gang. Mercy is tested in ways she could never have imagined and must decide if she has the boldness and wisdom to thwart the gang’s schemes. Will her bravery be enough to guarantee her a future with Jeremiah?
A new edition of the moving drama of life in a rough 1880s mining town, which launched the writing career of early 20th century best-selling author Ralph Connor’s classic Black Rock edited by Michael Phillips.
Jim Craig is a frontier minister to the mining and lumber community of Black Rock—a man with a vision for seeing the Gospel change lives. But the men in town who make their living from whiskey are determined to fight Craig’s attempt at reform.
Meet Leslie Graham, Slavin, Idaho Jack, Sandy, Baptiste, and especially Mrs. Mavor, whose quiet loving influence had a greater impact on the community than many realized.
