    1998 HOLT Medallion finalist! / 1998 finalist for Romantic Times Reviewers Choice!
    The fictional town of Hope discovers the importance of forgiveness, overcoming prejudice, and the dangers of keeping unhealthy family secrets.

    Jack Cornwall lost everything during the Civil War, so when his beloved nephew Chipper is reclaimed by his father, Cornwall vows revenge on the man who took away his last link with the past. Arriving in the town of Hope, Jack finds Chipper happy in his new family. Caitrin Murphy, a cheerful Irish immigrant, helps him realizes that taking Chipper away would be cruel. Unfortunately, few townspeople trust Jack, and even Caitrin is reluctant to encourage their romance because of Jack’s lack of faith. Jack soon realizes that serious changes are needed before he can be truly happy.

      This is book two in this series and also takes place in Hope, Kansas in the year 1865. It picks up where book one left off, but deals with different main characters, although you are introduced to them in book one. Could be read as a stand alone, but you will miss out on a lot if you don't start reading them in the order written.Jack Cornwall seems to have lost it all. His family farm after the war, his sister Mary, his little nephew Chipper, and he is feeling very defeated. He hides in a barn in Hope, trying to get better from a gunshot wound. Caitrin finds him in the barn and against her common sense, decides to help him. She introduces him to the love of the Lord which will lead to the love these two will share. But there is a lot of turmoil that will take place before these two can even begin to have their hopes and dreams realized.As it says on the back cover, "From the ashes of the refiner's fire can emerge beauty both graceful and enduring. In 'Prairie Fire', the flames that threaten to consume the town called Hope are overcome by the flood of love and forgiveness in the hearts of Caitrin Murphy and Jack Cornwall." Watching these two interact you see the spitfire in both of them and it was fun watching them share their honest opinions about each other. A well told story that had me wanting to start up book three next, 'Prairie Storm'.
