She loves her friends and students in the West, but family
obligations have called her home. Where does she truly
belong?
After a year of teaching in the Canadian West, Beth
Thatcher returns home to her family. She barely has time to settle
in before her mother announces plans for a family holiday--a
luxurious steamship tour along the eastern coast of Canada and the
United States. Hoping to reconnect with her mother and her sisters,
Beth agrees to join them, but she quickly realizes that things have
changed since she went away, and renewing their close bond is going
to be more challenging than she expected.
There's one special thing to look forward to--letters and telephone
calls from Jarrick, the Mountie who has stolen her heart. The
distance between them is almost too much to bear. But can she give
her heart to Jarrick when it will mean saying good-bye to her
family once again--and possibly forever? And will she still want to
live in the western wilds after the steamship tour opens up a world
of people and places she never imagined?
Then comes a great test of Beth's faith. Someone in her family has
trusted the wrong person, and suddenly everything Beth knows and
loves is toppled. Torn between her family and her dreams, will Beth
finally discover where her heart truly belongs?
