Publisher's Description
As Norah King surveys her family land in Iowa in 1880, she is acutely aware that it is all she has left, and she will do everything in her power to save it--even if that means marrying a man she hardly knows. Days before her wedding, Norah discovers an injured man on her property. Her sense of duty compels her to take him in and nurse him back to health. Little does she realize just how much this act of kindness will complicate her life and threaten the future she's planned. Norah's care does more than aid Quincy Barnes's recovery--it awakens his heart to possibilities. Penniless and homeless, he knows the most honorable thing he can do is head on down the road and leave Norah to marry her intended. But walking away from the first person to believe in him proves much harder than he imagined. Rachel Fordham invites you to experience the strength and beauty of love forged in the crucible of hardship in this heartwarming story.

“Where the Road Bends is the perfect romance, with a twist or two so there’s no predicting how the story will play out. It’s perfect because of snappy dialogue, three-dimensional characters who make mistakes and have to recover from them, and side plots that support the theme of telling the truth and doing the right thing. Rachel Fordham’s novels always engage me, and this one didn’t let me skip to find out how it ended! A joy to read all the way to the end.”
“A thoroughly engaging romance! Once again, author Rachel Fordham will delight readers with this poignantly romantic tale of hope. Against a backdrop of the American Midwest in 1880, the story captures the spirit of Jane Austen’s Persuasion, as Quincy Barnes and Norah King are like star-crossed lovers, each scarred by the past and mourning a love too easily surrendered. Yet as fate has drawn the two apart, only Providence can reunite them in this compelling and often emotionally gripping novel of faith, forgiveness, and a second chance at happiness. Christian historical fiction fans are sure to love Where the Road Bends!”
““With her signature heartwarming style, Rachel Fordham takes us on an emotional, restorative journey in Where the Road Bends. This book is a heart-tugging story of choices and second chances, and these deftly woven characters will linger in your thoughts long after the last poignant page.”
