Jodi's Journey is a sweet historical romance, full of issues of a troubling time. After the Civil War was finally over, the people struggled to accept their failures and go on. However, some towns nearly dried up and died, whether it was from the broken spirit, the damage to the town itself, or other causes, some nearly faded off the map. Esser Crossing was one such town. Jodi Parker was determined to change that. With her foreman badly injured, she had to seek outside help to get the town's cattle herd to Kansas. There was an open market for beef and a going price, if she succeeded the town might come back to life. Still, hiring Hunter Johnson for the job was not her idea. She loathed the man. He had come back before the war was over, and everyone knew what that meant.
Hunter didn't seek to destroy the notion that he was a coward. Instead he wallowed in a shack behind the local saloon, like an animal. That is until Jodi came to offer him a job.
Could two unlikely people come together for the good of the people and build an empire once more? Could they put aside their differences and push onward? Both had secrets they wouldn't share, deep dark secrets. He hid from his past, she from the future.
Still the journey called for raw courage, an overcoming one problem after another. While their respect for each other grew, their plight had never been an easy one. Could they endure by clinging to each other?
