When Zach Hollister hears stories of the first Pony Express riders, he jumps at the chance to finally strike out on his own and leave Miracle Springs behind. But he soon learns that the Pony Express Trail holds more than the promise of adventure, independence, and great pay. It's a challenging and dangerous road that will lead him to discover who he truly is.

Now married, Corrie Belle and Christopher Braxton make their first home in the small bunkhouse connected to the Hollister barn. As they pray for God's direction in their new life together, they find a purpose helping those in need. But when a long-forgotten enemy of both Pa Hollister and Zack returns, will the family survive his plot for vengeance?

Two surprise announcements bring difficult change to the Hollister-Braxton clan: Corrie's brother, Zack, is taking a dangerous new job, and Christopher and Corrie are leaving home to journey East. As Corrie and Christopher prepare to depart, a shock is sent through the community of Miracle Springs . . . with unexpected results.

The Civil War is finally over, and it has been more than two years since Corrie Belle Hollister left her home and family in Miracle Springs, California, to travel across the country at President Lincoln's invitation. Her writing skills and reporting experience have made their own contribution to the Union's success, and now she is on her way home . . . back to the community where she grew to maturity, back to the family she loves. But Corrie is returning a different young woman than the one who left with her journal tucked into her suitcase and the dream of being a writer tucked into her heart. She feels restless as she tries to settle back into the pace of a small town, and the latest letter from Christopher only creates more questions. Perhaps the most relentless among them: Where will she find a home for her heart?
