New York Times bestseller Cantrell's emotive storytelling shines in this tale of new beginnings, past secrets, and finding a way forward.

Millie's mind is racing and there seems to be no clear line between right and wrong. Either path leads to pain, and she'll do anything to protect the ones she loves. So she decides to bury the truth and begin again, helping Bump launch a ranch in the wilds of Colorado. But just when she thinks she's left her old Mississippi life behind, the facts surface in the most challenging way.

That's when Millie's grandmother, Oka, arrives to help. Relying on her age-old Choctaw traditions, Oka teaches Millie the power of second chances. Millie resists, believing redemption is about as likely as moving mountains. But Oka stands strong, modeling forgiveness as the only true path to freedom.

Together, Bump, Millie, and Oka fight against all odds to create a sustainable ranch, all while learning that the important lessons of their pasts can be used to build a beautiful future.

        In 1943, Millie Reynolds becomes the wife of veterinarian Bump Anderson and the two head from Mississippi to the Front Range of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains to start up a ranch for Cauy Tucker. Millie carries the secret of the trauma that concluded Into the Free, even as it shadows her newly married life. Millie’s grandmother Oka will join the couple, and Fortner, the man whose family owned the land that Millie and Bump now occupy, is a mystery to some, a threat to others. Then there’s Kat, who’s got eyes for Bump—and maybe claws out, too, to hook him. Millie faces choices as her past threatens to overwhelm the future. Cantrell set the bar high with Into the Free, which won the Christian Fiction Christy Awards Book of the Year. The narration of her follow-up is less lyrical, but the plotting is assured, and supporting characters Oka and Fortner ring fascinating and true, even as Kat seems less convincing. Millie’s voice remains the center of new emotional dynamics, and it will linger with readers after they close the book. Agent: Greg Johnson, WordServe Literary Group.

        Narrator Amy Rubinate's soft Southern accent and manner are perfect for Cantrell's compelling story of rape, shame, and abuse in 1943 Mississippi. Rubinate vividly renders Millie Reynolds's tapestry of emotions when she falls in love and marries Bump, a horse wrangler. Listeners will empathize with Rubinate's portrayal of Millie's struggle to tell Bump the dark secret that keeps her awake at night. Rubinate authentically captures Millie's elation at Bump's new job, which requires a move to a horse ranch in Colorado. Her persuasive narration delivers a powerful story of forgiveness, redemption, and second chances that doesn't disappoint. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
