Book excerpt: Tragically widowed at a young age, Anna was thrust into the intimidating, but satisfying role of sole owner of a Kansas wheat farm. Tragedy strikes again as a tornado rips through her town, almost leveling her barn and home, and injuring her beloved elderly foreman. As she watches her only hope for recovery drive away down the long dirt road, she collapses in her driveway in tears, afraid, utterly alone, and almost destitute. The heat of the sun’s rays cool as a shadow passes over her body. Firm, but gentle hands, lift to comfort her, but will she allow him to?
