Overview
Harry Jameson, an itinerant joiner, longs to settle in one
place, marry, and raise a family. So far, God has planned
otherwise, but then Harry’s latest woodcarving job brings him into
the vicinity of Castle Trent... and into the desolate life of
Ishmaela Trenton. Life holds little meaning for the neglected,
abused, dirty maiden until the day she meets Harry. Maela’s mother
is dead, and her natural father, Sir Hanover Trenton, views her
only as a commodity to barter with. Through Harry, Maela discovers
her own worth in God’s eyes-and she learns to love the handsome
joiner. However, their love seems hopeless, for Lord Trenton would
never consent to give his daughter to a commoner. Surely God would
not give Maela new life only to leave her helpless in the hands of
wicked men! Will Harry move on to new jobs and let his little pupil
fend for herself?
