More Than a Small Challenge

Hadley Hope Series, Book 2

Challenges either strengthen or destroy.

Daniel and Elizabeth Hadley, while mourning unexpected deaths, discover a fugitive family hiding on their property. They provide the runaways with food, medical help, and temporary shelter.

Their act of compassion leads to unexpected challenges because this encounter changes their understanding of the inhumanity of slavery. The Hadleys must choose between clinging to the safety of past attitudes or embracing a new future full of unknown possibilities. Should they help the Davis family escape to Kansas Territory out of the easy reach of bounty hunters?

Throughout this novel, Daniel and Elizabeth wrestle with the meaning of family, compassion, and freedom. Will they choose to stay in Mooresville, Indiana, where their lives are safe and predictable, or take a leap of faith into the uncertainties of moving to Kansas Territory?
