A historical novel. Security, joy, gentleness, faith, and love were hallmarks of Hattie Stoneworth Crowe's life. Now, though surrounded by a loving extended family, the horrors of the Great Depression and the death of her husband threaten her future and that of her three-year-old daughter and unborn child. A potentially greater danger looms from an unexpected source. Smith Delaney, an out-of-work miner known for his wanderlust, hair-trigger temper, fast fists, and taste for hard living, comes to her looking for work as a handyman. Against all reason she hires him. Their story is set in the coal fields of Muhlenberg County, in the western part of Kentucky. Through the hardships of the era, through birth and death, tragedy and triumph, a young woman valiantly seeks to hold on to her faith and her family. And a lonely man seeks faith, family and love. The resulting tapestry is one of sunshine and shadow, sorrow and delight, laughter and tears. But hope and joy reign supreme.
