NEXT STOP: HOME

After a catastrophe strands a train-and eight orphaned children-near Evans Grove, Nebraska, schoolteacher Holly Sanders sees hope in the chaos. These children are the new start her community needs. And Holly is stubbornly determined to give the townspeople, the children...and even gruff sheriff Mason Wright...the happy families they deserve. How can anyone so petite have so much gumption?

Watching Holly rally her young charges wins Mason's admiration-and reminds him of his own failures. No matter what Holly or the orphan boy Liam think, Mason's no hero and he doesn't merit a second chance. Can Holly's faith, Liam's trust and God's grace open Mason's heart to love's greatest lesson?
