Jack is basically the villian from the first book. He is injured at the end of the first book and we find him seeking refuge in one of the nearby barns. Here he meets Caitrin, who cannot ignore his pain and still call herself a Christian. She helps him to heal and makes him realize he's missing something important in his life. She tells him of the Father's love for him and also how, through Him, she can love him as well.
As their feelings grow, so does the disgust of the town. Although they are no longer in England/Ireland, the old hurts from the old country force Caitrin to choose between her family and her heart. Jack's father dies and he ends up bringing back to Hope his mother and sister. His mother acts superior and his sister is a mentally troubled person. The people of the town are just watching for a slip up to send Jack's family out of town.
I really enjoyed the plot of redeeming the villian from the first novel. I can't remember reading a sequel like that and it really was not too far from being realistic. As with the first book, it was a good read and I was glad to have picked it up. I'm holding off buying the last of the series, Prairie Storm, as I made a few selfish purchases this weekend with the Black Friday deals (online of course). The final installment seems to be about new people that were not in the first two books, a preacher and travelling healer. I plan on getting it eventually though. Good Book!
