Book 2 of the A Legacy of Faith series
320 pages · First published 2019
Ashley Showalter runs a horse-rescue farm in Idaho and believes deeply in helping damaged animals, but addiction in her own family has left her far less confident that broken people can truly change. Ben Henning is five years sober and hopes to establish an equine-therapy program on his family farm, making Ashley’s expertise invaluable. Their shared work creates attraction while Ben’s recovery and Ashley’s brother’s opioid addiction expose a painful fault line in her beliefs about redemption. Robin Lee Hatcher’s second Legacy of Faith novel combines contemporary Christian romance, horses, recovery, and the question of whether grace can be extended to people as readily as to rescued animals.
