The Truitts of Texas, Book 2

Two wounded hearts. One fragile hope. A love that dares to take root.

Blooming Grove, Texas, 1896.

Deputy Rabb Truitt is known for his quick wit, bold confidence, and unshakable commitment to protecting his town. But he hides a painful secret: he cannot read. When his mistake in a written report allows a criminal to walk free, Rabb’s shame pushes him toward the one decision he believes will protect everyone: resignation.

Sallie Parker refuses to let him give up.

After surviving a devastating fire, Sallie is determined to step out of hiding and live with purpose again. When she offers to help Rabb learn to read, their quiet lessons become more than either expected, stirring a hope neither one feels brave enough to name.

But trouble is spreading through Blooming Grove. Cattle disappear. Thieves evade capture. Angry townspeople demand justice. And when Rabb and Sallie discover a dangerous connection between the rustlers and Sallie’s school, they must work together to uncover the truth before more lives are destroyed.

Perfect for fans of Karen Witemeyer, Mary Connealy, and Jody Hedlund, Seeds of Hope is a faith-based historical romance filled with small-town danger, friends-to-lovers tenderness, found family, courage, and the promise that God can grow hope in even the hardest places.
