Passing Years — C.J. Petit

Despite the large number of saloons and ever-changing population, Joe and Faith were comfortable living in Idaho City. They had a nice home and hoped to raise Sam and Katie in the town even after the gold was gone. But those expectations were dashed when a sequence of unrelated events forced them to leave Idaho Territory.After Joe accepted a new job, the Beck family traveled to Utah Territory where they bought a ranch outside of Ogden. As the family adjusted to their new home, Joe and Faith hoped it would be their last.But even as they settled in, Joe's new position required him to spend days away from the ranch. Days in which he would create new enemies, including one who would invade their new home.
