Product Description

She didn’t know that running away would bring her full circle . . .

“Kim Vogel Sawyer is an exceptional storyteller who is sure to please fans of historical fiction. Her attention to detail and love of God shine through.” —Tracie Peterson

A rich, heartwarming story about discovering God’s love, acceptance, and healing—for even the most damaged hearts. It’s 1917, and Samantha O’Brien, seventeen years old, runs away from Wisconsin to Minnesota to escape a drunkard father and broken home. She is accepted with open arms into the Klaassen family, German-Mennonites who show both love and patience to this lonely and defensive girl. Samantha’s fractured childhood and its devastating losses make it very difficult for her to accept the Klaassen’s genuine care and concern, because she’s sure nobody can love the likes of her. But with prayer, time and love, the family—including the young and handsome Adam Klaassen—begins to break through Samantha’s walls. Customer Reviews “Kim Vogel Sawyer knows her subject well—no surprise since this book is based on her family history. She has a gift for creating lovable, believable characters and bringing the past to life.”

Bestselling, award-winning author Kim Vogel Sawyer wears many hats besides “writer.” As a wife, mother, grandmother, and active participant in her church, her life is happily full. But Kim’s passion lies in writing stories of hope that encourage her readers to place their lives in God’s capable hands. An active speaking ministry assists her with her desire. Kim and her husband make their home on the beautiful plains of Kansas, the setting for many of Kim’s novels. She is the author of more than twenty novels, including Courting Miss Amsel (Bethany House, 2011).
