To the Beat of a Fool's Drum

A Historical Christian Romance (The Mountain Redemption Series, Book 3)

By: Ann A. Goering

Narrated by: Amberly Slack

In the ashes of tragedy, a journey of faith and surrender begins . . .

Nizhoni Applewood has a heart—and face—as wild and beautiful as the Colorado mountains she calls home. But that isn’t necessarily a good thing; not on the western frontier in 1874 when the challenge of breaking her untamable spirit becomes the mission of a dangerous man.

Ezra Taylor joined the army seeking adventure. He dreamt of exploration, opening up new lands, and doing his best to keep the peace—peacefully. That, and he needed a distraction to forget about the woman he loved but could never have. The last thing he wanted was to get sent back home.

After her husband dies tragically in a fire, Nizhoni runs from her grief, desperate to never feel that kind of pain again. Seeking comfort, she makes a big mistake; she marries the wrong man. Now, she’s paying the price. Helpless to change her own situation, she determines to keep life good for the people she loves. She throws herself into holding everything together for everyone. The only problem is the weight of her load is crushing her . . .

When Ezra shows up in her village, he comes face to face with the one woman he didn’t want to see, and their worlds unintentionally collide . . . again. But now there’s more at stake than either of them imagined.

With hunting rights, the lives of local residents, and their futures on the line, will they find a way to work together with honor, embracing the true meaning of love?

As they walk a difficult path, they soon realize only God could make a way forward in a situation that looks so impossible . . .
