A touching, inspirational story based on true events set in 1888 Nebraska. An undercover operation to flush out a fugitive counterfeiter becomes dangerous for a Secret Service agent and the local schoolteacher with a mission of her own. The book is one of a series, but reads easily as a stand alone.

This story drew me in with characters that are far from perfect, but are quite courageous and determined to finish their mission no matter what the personal cost. Plenty of inspiration is found between the action, with a strong underlying redemptive theme, also pulling out the roots of bitterness, extending grace and mercy, healing and forgiveness. It was done well as the main characters wrestled with their faith and past hurts.
The story moves at a good pace as it builds towards a catastrophic event and the mystery is solved. It was interesting to read the author's notes at the end about the real history behind it. It was sad, but made me thankful in many ways.
Recommend to readers who enjoy clean inspirational historical romances. 4.5 stars
