Despite her discomfort, she cannot imagine an escape from her familial confines—until her old schoolmate Micah shows her a life-changing truth that sets her feet on a new path . . . as a conductor in the Underground Railroad.Dr. Micah Greyson never hesitates to answer the call of duty, no matter how dangerous, until the enchanting Keziah walks back into his life and turns his well-ordered plans upside down. Torn between the life he has always known in Savannah and the fight for abolition, Micah struggles to discern God’s plan amid such turbulent times.Battling an angry fiancé, a war-tattered brother, bounty hunters, and their own personal demons, Keziah and Micah must decide if true love is worth the price . . . and if they are strong enough to survive the unyielding pain of war.

It is spring on the farm, and young Ben has a big job. It is to protect all the birds that live there. Luckily, his friends Hana and Tigger help him whenever they can. One day, after having rescued Mabel, the guinea hen's young keets, from a hungry fox, Ben is given a thank-you gift of eighteen guinea eggs for his gallant act of bravery from all the guinea hens.Ben doesn't have a clue what to do with all these eggs. After all, he is only allowed to eat the eggs the humans cook for him. So he just thanks the guinea hens and calls for Hana to assist him in figuring out what to do with the eggs. Hana comes up with a plan. Though she doesn't have any idea of why, how long, or what the results will be, they decide to put her plan into action.Over the next few weeks, between guarding the farm birds and running off on false cries for help from Rudy the peacock, who seems to think a bug getting away is an emergency, Ben takes his turn at taking care of the eggs to give Hana a much-needed break so she can get some exercise and hopefully he can sneak in a nap.When the morning finally arrives, they find out the result of Hana's plan of what to do with the eggs. Ben cannot believe what his eyes are seeing as he howls for Hana to come quick. This is more than just another day on the farm.

Candy-jo stands patiently in line at the American Legion Hall, waiting for her turn to see Santa Claus. When it is her turn, Santa is surprised that she doesn't have a Christmas list. She explains she doesn't need a list because there is one thing and one thing only that she wants for Christmas--it is a dog of her own. Santa tells her that he usually doesn't give pets for Christmas presents. They are too hard to stuff in his bag and carry down the chimney. Though disappointed, Candy-jo understands.When she wakes up early Christmas morning, she is surprised she can hear a puppy whimpering. Careful not to wake her sister and brothers who are still sound asleep, she goes in search of the puppy. Outside, sitting in the cold snow just a little ways from their front step, is a little bundle of fur. Excited, she wakes everyone up in the house to tell them Santa Claus came.Her dad looks the puppy over and tells her that this puppy is not from Santa Claus. In fact, this puppy is not a dog--it is a coyote pup. Later in the morning, Game Warden Jones comes knocking on the door. He offers Candy-jo the job of taking care of Coyote pup she has already named Nick. On one condition though: she must agree to setting Nick free when he is big enough. They shake hands in agreement.Days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months. Until one midsummer day, Game Warden Jones comes back; it is time to set Nick the coyote free.

Though Hana the dog has only lived on the farm for a short time, she has adopted several young animals: Tigger the kitten, Yowly the coyote pup, Twirly the squirrel, plus Tappy the young woodpecker. She has also been saving all the treats that have been given to her by her new humans to be presents for her babies for Christmas. She has buried each present in the ground in different places all over the farm. It is now the day before Christmas, and Hana goes to dig up all the presents for her babies. Though she searches all over the farm, Hana cannot find the presents. It is winter, there is snow, and the ground is frozen. Along comes Lokee, her adopted big brother, hoping she will come help him chase a possum. Though after hearing about her problem, Lokee tries to assure her Santa will bring her babies presents. But Hana is afraid Santa won't be able to find all her babies. Lokee then offers to help her find those presents because, after all, that is what families do for each other. Besides that, Lokee is trying to make sure he is on Santa's nice list.
