    About this series

    Her father gave her baby away moments after his birth.

    Mariam Kellen was only seventeen when her father ignored her protests and took her baby from the midwife before she could hold him. Then he forced her to leave their Mississippi home and follow the Oregon Trail 2,000 miles away so she could never find the infant her heart longed for. Six years later, she teaches school in the small town of Willtown, Oregon, and she’s never stopped looking for the baby she still loves, although she knows she’ll never find him. She determines to go back someday to Mississippi and resume her search. But for now, another little boy near the age of her son has caught her attention. He and his father.

    Dillon Booker returned from the War Between the States to find his plantation in ruins and his wife buried in the family plot. After their first two babies were stillborn, he was thrilled to learn the third was healthy, but by the time he made it home, their two remaining servants were caring for his son in a crumbling corner of his once fine home. He took them all to Oregon to escape the war and find the one man he’d admired. But on arrival, he discovered his neighbor, Pastor Kellen, had passed away. Several years later, his son enters school, and he meets the intriguing teacher who is his mentor’s daughter. A friendship develops, but can anything come of it when she resents the man he’s always looked up to?

    Mother’s Tears is a story of family, growth, faith, and forgiveness when all seems impossible.

She’s loved him from the first when they met on the Oregon Trail. Now they’ve arrived in Oregon, and with Katie and Jason settling into their new home, Rachel wants the same thing. But just as her engagement was a long time coming, it seems their wedding day must also be delayed. Should she use the attractive new neighbor’s interest in her to make Tommy jealous? If he doesn’t stop talking about the wonderful, perfect Miss Preston, a girl he’s met in town, then maybe she will! Tommy Donovan loves Rachel. He fought their attraction on the trail, but now that she’s agreed to marry him, he wants to make her his bride. But something is holding him back. Is it, as he tells her, his ministry to the Indians? Or does he still harbor deeply buried resentment toward the very people he’s trying to win for the Lord? Revisit Rachel and Katie as they settle into their new home at the end of the Oregon Trail.

      Although she loves Daniel, and everyone expects them to marry, she’s in no hurry. Ellen Bartlett wants to continue teaching the children of Willtown, Oregon, in 1862. Daniel Morgan, her best friend, thinks they should marry as soon as possible, but she doesn’t want to lose the privilege and joy of teaching. Wesley Spencer, Daniel’s sworn enemy, has returned to Willtown after a long absence and would like nothing better than to make Ellen his wife. Only Daniel stands in his way. What should Ellen do? She loves two wonderful, Christian men who are as much at odds now as they ever were as boys. She could remain single and teach school the rest of her life.

      Serena Lancaster is grieving the death of her brother and his wife, but more than anything she wants to claim their orphaned baby who is being raised by foster parents. Her wealthy father disowned his son for leaving the family business and becoming a lowly farmer. Serena can’t tell him her true reason for going to Oregon, but he doesn’t mind her visiting an aunt who lives nearby. Thinking all is well, and she will soon be in charge of her niece, she is stunned to find opposition from the foster family’s son. It doesn’t help that he stirs emotions that have nothing to do with the baby. Daniel Morgan served two years in the cavalry and received an injury that almost cost his life. His death was assumed when he went missing after that terrible battle, and his parents and wife were notified. Now he’s home, ready to take up where he left off, eager to see his wife. But his parents have shocking news for him when they introduce their newest foster child, an infant of only two months. He isn’t interested until he learns this is his wife’s child after marriage to a man named Lancaster. Now she’s an orphan. Bitterness fills his heart toward anyone by that name, so when a Lancaster shows up and claims she’s the baby’s aunt, he refuses to be moved by her charm and beauty. Why doesn’t he hand the infant over and be done with both of them instead of telling her she needs to stay at least a month? He has no idea. Can Daniel find happiness when it seems betrayal and heartache is now his lot in life?
