All the King's Horses - Paperback

.

1867 - Lost beneath the dark surfaces of her mind, Eloise Riley longs for nothing more than the freedom only death can bring. But after a failed attempt at ending her own life, the pain she longed to end is only worsened. With a father who can't look at her, a mother caught in the middle, and her parents now crumbling marriage, Eloise feels herself slipping further beneath the waves-until a stranger steps into her life, bearing an unexpected understanding and the promise of a second chance.

Brooks Harper thought he knew where God was leading him when he left home: in search of land and the fulfillment of a dream. That is until he feels the pull to the hostile, mud-ridden town of Huxley. Rather than land, he finds a broken family and a new dream intertwining with the old when he invites them back to his hometown of Rose Haven.

But second chances mean laying down the pain of yesterday. Can Eloise let go of the past and learn to trust?
