A Land Of Sheltered Promise

Out of the Wilderness...Three Women. Three Eras. Three Miracles.1901Plagued by loneliness on the Big Muddy Ranch, a sheepherder's wife awaits the outcome of her husband's trial for murder. He is sentenced to life in prison--and she to life without him. But a startling event could redeem their pasts and transform their future.1984Against a backdrop of attempted murder, federal indictments, and the first case of bio-terrorism in the U.S., one woman seeks to rescue her granddaughter from within the elaborate compound of a cult that has claimed the land.1997On the much-reviled, abandoned cult site, one woman's skepticism turns to hope when she finds that what was meant to destroy can be used to rebuild--and in the process realizes a long-held dream. For three women seekers united across time, a remote and rugged stretch of land in the Pacific Northwest proves to be a place where miracles really happen--and the gifts of faith, hope, and charity are as tangible as rocks, rivers, and earth.
