Surrey shares, "Jesse's brother had made it safely home after his kidnapping. Paul was surprised to find his sister being courted by his neighbor. It seemed a lot of things had changed in the time he was gone. How could he possibly deal with the changes when he had such sorrow in his life?
"Jesse needed to come to a decision about which suitor to continue seeing, the neighbor or the ranch manager—a decision that could lead to marriage. She is surprised by several announcements made by her friends. Everything seemed to be changing around her. She continued to depend on her faith as she navigated the new paths thrown at her.

The secret that he had been keeping about that jungle would be revealed when Bartholomew, his friend and coworker, came to visit. Would this trip bring him more disappointment and grief? He was willing to take the chance. He believed God was in this with him."
