Marjory's Journey West

Marjory Finkle has survived worse than loneliness.

Raised in an orphanage where kindness was scarce and obedience was demanded, Marjory learned early how to keep her head down—and how to remind herself, and the younger girls she protected, that God still saw them as precious. When she is sent west to marry a stranger in Colorado, Marjory carries little more than a single bag, a gentle faith, and the quiet hope that her husband will be kind.

Sebastian Clark expects gratitude—not questions.

A successful businessman with firm opinions and little patience, Sebastian believes marriage is meant to bring order to his life. He provides a house, a livelihood, and security—and expects his wife to fall neatly into place. What he doesn’t expect is a woman who measures worth not by possessions, but by peace… and who quietly resists being ruled by fear or demands.

Bound together by a marriage neither truly understands, Marjory and Sebastian must navigate a life filled with unspoken expectations, wounded pride, and painful misunderstandings. As Sebastian’s rigid control threatens to crush the very peace he claims to desire, Marjory must decide whether faith means enduring in silence—or trusting God enough to believe He does not ask His daughters to disappear.

A powerful Christian historical romance about identity, endurance, and the transforming grace that can soften even the hardest of hearts.
