No matter how dark her night became, Rachel knew God promised joy in the morning.
1858, Missouri. Rachel faces an uncertain future as she approaches adulthood in the orphanage. With few options and a looming arranged marriage, she risks everything, escaping with her younger brother to avoid a future she never chose.
But when she encounters Melvin, a grieving widower with two young children, her life takes an unexpected turn. Desperate for help and willing to offer Rachel refuge, Melvin proposes a marriage of convenience. Together, they create a family rooted in faith, love, and resilience, navigating the joys and heartaches that bind them.
Just as hope blossoms, a tragedy tests their strength and trust in God, but with a supportive community and unwavering faith, they find a way forward.

Beller, Lacy Williams, and Linda Ford, this standalone novel in the Discerning God’s Best series will capture your heart. Discover a love story built on faith, hope, and the promise that even the darkest night can lead to a brighter dawn.
