Jack

A lot of hullabaloo on the prairie. Jack Clausen has led a hard, lonely life, but he's content with a good job as a cowboy, a faithful horse, and the Lord. But when a near tragedy flings him into the path of a lovely young lady, Jack's resolve to stay single and alone wavers. Hazel Meissner has everything a young man could hope for–kindness, gentleness, and just enough playfulness to keep things interesting, but when accusations tear at their relationship, Hazel's true strength emerges. Without forgiveness, many lives will be irrevocably changed. Jack is the first book in the Ballads from the Hearth series. This book was inspired by the old ballad, "Cowboy Jack" and Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing. Ballads from the Hearth is a collection of unrelated novels inspired by the ballads the author's father sang as a child.
