Lamb in His Bosom

From the first stirrings of passion, when Cean Carver, newly married and barely into her teens, rides off with Lonzo Smith, then through the birth of their children, the hard lot of a farmer's wife, and Lonzo's early and tragic death, Cean fights to hold her family together.

Mourning her beloved Lonzo for many years, Cean is shocked to discover that she can feel passion again, when Dermid O'Connor - adventurer, preacher, teacher, with a feeling for God and a poet's tongue - crosses her solitary path. And while she will never forget Lonzo, it is a different kind of love she gives to Dermid, this strange man with whom she will live out the rest of her life.
