Unfortunate

Christian themes, but not Christian. Daggart is pretty loose with the swear words so if you are sensitive to that, please give this a pass.

Daggart Bartlett, mean, villainous, terminally cranky. He had a routine of prospecting for gold, cashing in his ore, and drinking it up that night. A life spent in the saloon and sleeping it off until the next day suited him just fine. He didn't need saving or help unless someone wanted to pan for gold for him.

Mary O'Brien, however, had plans for him. A God fearing, stubborn do gooder, she had no choice but to clean Daggart up and hauls him into church. Mary vowed to turn him from whiskey-soaked to Bible reading so he wouldn't fritter his life away. Finding the good in Mr. Bartlett proves more difficult than she thought. Is it possible that not even God can help this unfortunate man?
