author: Ashley, Diane; McCarver, Aaron
description: In spite of the love she sees between her parents, Abigail LeGrand is determined never to marry. Intelligent and opinionated, she fears marriage will quash her personality.
  
  Nathan Pierce is desperate to hide his past. An itinerant preacher, he's convinced that he is not worthy of God's forgiveness -- or of the love of a good woman.
  
  Will Abigail and Nathan accept each other's love and respect, or will they stubbornly cling to the fears that threaten to keep them apart?
