What Frees the Heart

Can they set each other free?

Cowbird Creek has its share of troubled souls. For Tom, a farmer's son, losing his leg felt like losing his future. Jenny, a young prostitute at Madam Mamie's parlor house, has never thought she had much future to lose.

But the job Tom is able to get leads him to rediscover a long neglected talent. And both Tom and Jenny have a knack for hitting on new possibilities. Can they, together, find a better path?

This novel, second in a series, returns to the small town of Cowbird Creek, Nebraska, in early 1876, a few months after the conclusion of What Heals the Heart. Several favorite characters from Book 1 make return appearances.
