A young widow with a five-year-old son finds that he’s been kidnapped along with the woman watching him. They were taken after a man is killed and they happened to see the gunman doing the killing. Joanna enlists Isaac to take her to try and get them back. They travel through very rough territory and Isaac soon has to reveal a secret about his past that will change how Joanna feels about him. He promised Joanna to get her son back and hopefully the other woman, and he’ll do just that no matter what happens. They travel through such difficult terrain and he is injured, at that point I didn’t think he would be able to keep traveling. I was quite invested in the characters in the book and wanted to continue reading all the way to the end to see how it would end. There is a bit of a romance, the book is faith based, and based on the old west. It was quite a yarn. I gave it four stars.
I was given the book as an advance reader copy in the kindle format from NetGalley.com. I wasn’t required to give a review and the thoughts and opinions on this book are my own and freely given.

Description
as found on NetGalley.com:
Young widow Joanna Watson is
struggling to make a new home for her five-year-old son, Samuel, in the little
mountain town of Settler's Fort. When she returns home from work to find Samuel
and the woman watching him missing, with no lawman in town, she enlists a man
she prays has enough experience in this rugged country to help.
Isaac Bowen wants nothing more than a quiet, invisible life in these mountains, far away from the bad decisions of his past. But he has a strong suspicion of who's behind the kidnapping, and if he's right, he knows all too well the evil they're chasing.
As they press on against the elements, Joanna fights to hold on to hope, while Isaac knows a reckoning is coming. They find encouragement in the tentative trust that grows between them, but whether it can withstand the danger and coming confrontation is far from certain in this wild, unpredictable land.
