Love's Abiding Joy

The fourth book in the Love Comes Softly series -- complete with Janette Oke's lithographed signature!

At the end of Love's Long Journey, Marty and Clark's daughter Missie and her husband are homesteading in the far West. They are many weeks' journey away from their beloved families -- an arduous, dangerous trip by covered wagon.

But in Love's Abiding Joy, the frontier railroad has bridged the miles and made Marty's dream of a reunion with Missie and Willie a reality. Marty and Clark are thrilled to meet their two new grandsons for the very first time. Missie beams with pride as she shows her parents her beautiful home and Willie's successful ranch. Anxious to hear news of her family, Missie plies her mother with questions about her brothers and sisters back home.

Their vacation is idyllic, filled with special moments of discovery, sharing and love. But then their vacation is shattered by a tragic accident. Clark risks his life to save two young boys in a mining accident...and in the process, his leg is crushed. When his injured leg turns gangrenous, it threatens his very life.

Can the Davis' faith endure this tragedy -- and will they ever be a happy family again?
