Forgive the Wind — Cindy Holby

Any cowboy can ride the range, rope steers, wrangle with rustlers. But it takes a true hero to rise above tragedy and triumph over adversity.

Caleb Conners had returned from battle a changed man, uncertain whether he could still meet the rugged demands of ranging in Wyoming, unwilling to take up the drawing that had once been his life. With only half a leg, could he really perform as a whole man?

Amanda Myers knew what it meant to live without hope, without dreams. For years she had been forced to do the will of others, but now she'd landed in a safe haven on Lynch Ranch, bolstered by smiling faces, the laughter of children, and Caleb. When she looked upon his portrait of her, she saw a new vision of herself. Through his eyes she rediscovered her own purity and strength of purpose, and in him she found the enduring love she'd prayed for.

Two wounded souls, two hopeful hearts -- with a little help from their friends they'd find a joy that could soar above all life's troubles.
