About this ebook

Adventure is the last thing on Andrea Henderson's mind when she moves to Moses Lake. After surviving the worst year of her life, she's struggling to build a new life for herself and her son as a social worker. Perhaps in doing a job that makes a difference, she can find some sense of purpose and solace in her shattered faith.

For new Moses Lake game warden Mart McClendon, finding a sense of purpose in life isn't an issue. He took the job to get out of southwest Texas and the constant reminders of a tragedy for which he can't forgive himself.

But when a little girl is seen with the town recluse, Mart and Andrea are drawn together in the search for her identity. The little girl offers them both a new chance at redemption and hope--and may bring them closer than either ever planned.

Ratings and reviews

Lisa Wingate is fast becoming a must read author for me. Once again she has imbued her characters with so much emotion, strength, and real humanity, flaws included, that they come alive on the pages of this mesmerizing story! Her illuminating depiction of Moses Lake, let's you practically feel the rhythms of the wildlife, scents on the waterways, and the spectacular vistas that are both beautiful and sometimes treacherous. This book shakes you up, wrings you out, and finally wraps you in a warm hug that lingers long after the final page.

Good read! I enjoyed the faith connection that was woven through the story.

Complex but very entertaining
