Elise Toussaint Hearne thought her devastating secret was safe--after all, her dark hair and complexion could mean she had French ancestry. But that did little to save her when it was discovered that her deceased mother was a runaway quadroon. Disowned and shamed by the Hearne family, Elise and her baby find themselves on their way to the wild frontier of Texas--as slave.
When Elise inadvertently meets Benjamin Sinclair, a fiery evangelist determined to convert the lawless Texans, their lives become intertwined in the midst of tragedy--shattering their fragile existence and forcing them to discover the faith that sustains.
This volume also includes the full-length novel Heaven's Road, the story of Micah Sinclair, the reckless but courageous stepson of Elise.

In 1834, Elise Touissant Hearne's life shatters with the revelation of an unexpected secret: The Creole beauty is an octaroon in a culture where anyone with a trace of black blood isn't considered fit for society. Cast out of her wealthy husband's family into a life of prostitution, Elise fears for her infant daughter. Rev. Benjamin Sinclair, traveling with his family to the Texas frontier, is a self-righteous, sanctimonious bearer of the Word. When he tragically loses his wife, the grieving minister and the new convert learn about the healing power of God and love. Pella's ("Lone Star Legacy" series) newest is for all collections.
