WHEN COMES THE DAWN Amity Sheffield once enjoyed the life of a southern belle. Then war broke out. Dodging bullets as well as marriage to a man she doesn't love, Amity knows only that she must leave her home. As she disappears at dawn into the surrounding countryside with her two faithful servants, she trusts God to protect. Little does she expect that God will also lead her to the man she can truly love.
SHORES OF PROMISE Arriving on the shores of the United States in 1840, Sarah Brown is full of optimism. The illiterate servant girl is sure she will find a better life than the one she'd known as a near-slave in Mrs. Gerty's household. But that is before her new employers are killed. And before plantation owner Jonathan Bowman take too personal an interest in her.
THE SURE PROMISE When Laurina Dalen return to Chippewa City, Minnesota, she realizes little has changed. Haunted by memories of her own lonely childhood, Laurina decides to provide a home for the orphaned Wells children. But Laurina and Dr. Matthew Strong's future together is in jeopardy. Matthew, after all, has not considered the appeal of the attentive Reverend Adam Conrad, nor his equally attractive proposal to Laurina.
DREAM SPINNER Amid the rural poverty of northeastern Pennsylvania in 1892 is the ramshackle abode Starlight shares with her crippled father. Although far removed from the derring-do of armor-clad heroes, this beautiful young woman exults in her fairy-tale dreams, a reprieve from an ever-worsening existence. And the one day he comes. Astride his silver charger, Kirby Mitchell is to Starlight a dream-spun knight from the past-a man of faith and passion for the present.
