Rebecca Whitman witnesses a crime and a grave injustice as a young child. She grows up and becomes a court stenographer with a passion for justice. She leaves home to become the first female court stenographer in Kalispell, Montana, and she's determined that she will not fall in love with the first man that she meets.
The first man that she meets is Mark Andrews. He grew up on a ranch, and though his father is determined that he will take over the ranch along with his sister, Mark has no interest in ranching. His passion is books, and he has his dream job opening the first library in Kalispell.

The Ashburys have helped and guided Mark since he was young, and Mr Ashbury is the district judge. His wife, the interesting wife, Marvella Ashbury. She is determine that Rebecca will meet both God and Mark Andrews. The Ashburys offer apartments in the same building to both Mark and Rebecca.
As the story unfolds we see Rebecca caught in another case of serious injustice, we see her wrestle with faith as she works her way through the Bible, and watch her relationship with Mark blossom. Meanwhile, Mark's father grows mysteriously weak and ill at the ranch, where family tensions are high. His sister has a mysterious new husband who seems quite willing to take over the ranch. Mark doesn't want to break his relationship with his father, but neither does he want to be a rancher. All these things come together as the court case unfolds.
**************
I genuinely enjoyed this story. The characters are rich and unique, from the delightful Marvella Ashbury to the loathsome Mr Tuttle. The mystery unfolds at just the right pace, and it kept me up reading at night. I always enjoy Christian fiction that has a gospel message in it, which this does. I will definitely be looking for more books by these authors.
