HeartQuest Books by Catherine Palmer
Finders Keepers
—Home, family, security … three things that lovely, independent antiques dealer Elizabeth Hayes is determined to provide for her adopted son, Nikolai. And Ambleside, Missouri, is just the place to do it. The beautiful Victorian mansion next door is an ever-present reminder of the stable heritage and gracious, old-fashioned ways Ambleside represents. Zachary Chalmers is shocked to receive an inheritance from an aunt he barely remembers—even if it is just a decrepit old mansion. Once cleared, the site will be perfect for the architectural firm he’s designing. Out with the old, in with the new. That’s Zachary’s motto. Even as they clash over the fate of Chalmers House, Elizabeth and Zachary begin to discover dreams of a shared future—an idea vigorously supported by the irrepressible Nick! But are they willing to surrender to God’s plan, which is greater than their own? Then a suprising revelation makes them wonder whether even a wrecking ball can put to rest the shadows of the past.
Prairie Storm
—Can one tiny baby calm the brewing storm between Lily’s past and Elijah’s future? Evangelist Elijah Book is a fearless warrior for God—or so he believes. When a helpless infant is entrusted to his care, his zeal becomes sidetracked, as the fate of an innocent child rests with a woman Eli must trust in spite of himself. Storms of hurt and bitterness threaten to overwhelm Lily Nolan after the death of her husband and child. If there is a God, how could he abandon her so completely? Can she risk opening her heart to the orphaned Samuel? United in their concern for the baby, Eli and Lily are forced to set aside their differences and learn to trust God’s plan to see them through the storms of life.
