Once she met and married Frank McLean, however, she thought her pain and sadness were gone forever. Then a tragic fire destroys her house and takes the life of her precious infant son. Katherine, Frank, and their two daughters must leave their home and start anew in frigid, rough lumberjack territory. Long ago, she d abandoned any faith in a God who would allow such devastation and despair to happen. But when catastrophe and heartbreak tail the family and a series of events finds Katherine frightened and hopeless in the deep north wilderness, she discovers she has never been alone. God s mercy is always near, and help comes in the most unexpected ways. When we lose everything we most love, we begin to find what we most need. Footprints Under the Pines tells the story of one woman s loss and recovery, heartbreak and renewal, defeat and ultimate victory-and her long journey home to a loving Father. Dawn Batterbee Miller is a fresh new voice in Christian fiction, introducing readers to the exciting and challenging logging world of the Midwest backwoods in the late eighteen nineties. Footprints Under the Pines is a fast-paced story of adventure, romance, and danger that will quickly draw readers in and hold them from first page to last-and leave them wanting more.
