Sustaining Faith

The gripping backstory to Hallmark's When Hope Calls continues - previous title in series - Unyielding Hope 

So much has been accomplished. Lillian Walsh has stepped out courageously beyond what she'd ever dreamed of being able to achieve. Two years ago she was an only child, living in a big house with her adoptive parents. Now, Lillian shares the large home with her newly rediscovered sister, Grace, and the orphaned children to whom Grace has devoted her life.

But then the letter arrives--an official complaint revoking the sisters' permission to manage their little children's home. An untimely winter trip across the prairie is necessary to defend their reputation and to repent from their lie, however well intended. And Walter, who was once merely Lillian's childhood friend, is now her staunch support, transporting them all and standing beside them in their present trial.

However, another wave is coming. More children are being sent, escorted by an unlikely advocate, a British sailor who once ran away from home. Ebenezer Waldin's scarred heart softens to the children's plight--even to the point of breaking rules. Will there be consequences? And will there be a loving place for all of them when they arrive in the West?
