Through the Valley of Shadows — Meredith Resce

When tragedy strikes, Christine Shore is certain that her life will never
be the same again. Naturally, she considers shouldering the
responsibility of caring for her orphaned niece and nephew--despite the
family's assurance she is under no obligation to raise the children.

Jack Browning, the children's uncle on the other side, has nobly
proposed to marry Christine for the sake of the children.

However, when presented with an opportunity to travel overseas, she
chooses to let Jack care for his brother's family and find another woman
to fulfill his hasty vow.

Unforseen circumstances lead Christine to question whether she has
made the right decision, or whether she has let true love slip her by.
