A Stranger at Daybreak: Sometimes the road back is the only way forward

By Chris Hammen

Jacob "Luke" Carter has spent eighteen years moving from ranch to ranch, never staying long enough to belong. A past he can't outrun follows him across every mile, and leaving before sunrise has always been easier than facing what he left behind.

When winter brings him to a quiet Montana ranch, Luke only intends to stay long enough to earn his keep. But a stubborn gray horse, a watchful young boy, and a woman who sees more than he says begin to change something he thought was settled long ago.

The road he's avoided is finally calling him home - to the place where his running began and forgiveness has been waiting.

Now Luke must decide if a man who never planned to stay can learn to build a life... and whether grace can reach farther than regret.

Sometimes the road back is the only way forward.
