an enjoyable story

Sue Ellen is a widow with a small son who is traveling alone to a homestead she has never seen. Alton Wheeler is a tough gambling man who never settles in any one place for very long. The two of them are thrown together accidentally, and both start new lives in the lonely wilderness. As Alton helps Sue Ellen get started in her new home, he begins to realize that he is falling in love. Sue Ellen also returns that love, but she won't marry him. Her reason: he does not know the Lord. The story of Alton's struggle into acceptance of the Lord as his savior is a major story line in this book, and one that every Christian can relate to. Will he ever acknowledge God's saving grace? Will Sue Ellen wait on him indefinitely? The story of Alton Wheeler is an enjoyable one of the power of the Holy Spirit.
