Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On the windswept prairie outside the quiet town of Linden, Ada Lockley's life is measured in honest work, family duty, and faith. The farm her family struggles to keep alive demands everything she has-together, they try to hold together a household that has already known too much loss. Life is seldom easy, but it is still good.Then a stranger rides into Linden.Marshal Harlan is a man with a reputation that arrives before he does. A bounty hunter hardened by years of chasing dangerous men across the frontier, he carries a past marked by violence, regret, and decisions that can never be undone. Trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes-and when robbery and murder shake the quiet town, his presence only deepens the unease.Yet beneath the cottonwood tree on Lockley land, their paths begin to cross in ways neither of them expected.Ada sees something in the wary man that others do not: someone who is trying, however imperfectly, to become better than the life he has known. And Marshal, who has spent most of his life believing he cannot belong anywhere, begins to discover that kindness and courage can take root in the most unlikely soil.But the past is not easily outrun.When justice comes calling, Marshal must face the consequences of the life he has lived-even if it means losing the one place that has begun to feel like home.Because sometimes the strongest things on the prairie aren't the storms, but the hearts that learn to stand through them.…
