About Myra Johnson’s novella, Settled Hearts: Two years have passed since Emma Clarke’s father set out on the Oregon Trail. But there has been no word, and now with her mother near death, Emma is desperate to find out what happened to her father and—God willing—bring him home.

John Patrick needs to get as far away as he can. Learning his orphaned niece and nephew were being ill-treated by their adoptive parents, John has “kidnapped” the children and plans to take them west to start a new life. He and Emma strike a bargain: for her help tending the children, he’ll do his best to help find her father.

What neither of them bargains for is falling in love, or the heartbreak that follows when their separate goals take them in opposite directions. Only with courage and faith will they find their way “home” to each other’s arms.
