Search for the Whole Heart:: Discovery Ellen Sherrill

When David Winters travels west to rescue his fiancee', Catherine Sutherland, from life on a Kansas hard-dirt farm, he finds the sod house burned to the ground. Only the graves of her mother and step-father mark the desolate homestead. Desperate to find the girl he loves, David's search for Catherine leads him to Dodge City where their reunion is nothing like either of them had planned, creating even more uncertainty for their future. It is here, in the untamed new community of Dodge City that Catherine and David encounter an assortment of interesting people...a brothel owner, a cattle rancher, and a crusty old woman miner. Could God possibly use all these to influence their lives? David's success as a jewlery designer grows, enticing him toward New York City and the beautiful Charlotte Pennington. Catherine feels she has little to offer David in comparison to the wealthy debutante who is determined to win David's affections. Will David follow the call of his heart to minister the Word of God to the lonely prairie dwellers or be drawn to the worldly riches and success? Can Catherine overcome her insecurities regarding her ability to be David's wife? If only she could find the necklace David had crafted for her before she came west. Surely that would confirm the discovery of God's perfect plan for their lives.
