Precious Stones: Book Three, Be Thou My Vision Series

By Roxanne D. Hicks

When Emily Collins returns to the Bitterroot Valley for a summer visit, her identity is mistaken for that of a wealthy, notorious woman with the same first name. While the error begins on an amusing note, it quickly develops into sour repercussions. Now twenty-five-years old, and still unmarried, her fierce ambition stumbles at a crossroad with her desire for a husband and a family. As the daughter of a diligent, faithful frontier preacher, she has seen both extremes society has to offer when her father retired at the family home of Boston.Fifteen-year-old Rorie O Rielly, a Cree Indian adopted as a youngster by the ORielly family, eagerly awaits the return of the Nez Perce buffalo hunters as they head homeward from the plains to the lush valleys of the Wallowa. He has been granted the job of bringing back a small string of horses for breeding stock. A promise to a dying man catapults him into a summer of life-or-death knife-edge adventure, unexpected fortune, and stretches his loyalty to a Christian brother.Rorie and his two younger brothers stumble into the acquaintance of the colorful Doc Holliday and eventually, a guarded and reluctant friendship. Emily unexpectedly fulfills her goal of making a splash in life when she steps forward with the humble task of helping lonely children in a government Indian school. She also battles a wealthy businesswoman to rekindle romance with her teenaged first-love Anthony O Rielly.Their lives weave together throughout the summer of 1877, and both Emily and Rorie discover the same truth: God is faithful. The rough, abrasive stones along lifes path become precious gems in His hands.Precious Stones is the third book in the Be Thou My Vision Series, and follows book number one, For A Cup of Cold Water and book number two, My Treasure.
