It’s hard to hear God’s voice when you’ve already decided what you want him to say.

In the wilds of the rugged West, Betsy Smith discovers beauty in every corner—from the blazing sunsets to the wind murmuring secrets through the mountains. Yet, it's the magnetism of Gabe Manning, with his dark complexion and dashing demeanor, that draws her gaze. Having known him since childhood, Betsy sees in Gabe the embodiment of the heroes she admires from her novels: a stalwart protector of the innocent, a champion of justice, a man of unshakable integrity, and a paragon of honor, guided by principles as steadfast as the mountains themselves— all while reconciling with his Arapaho Indian heritage. Yet, amid her admiration, Betsy longs for God’s reassurance that Gabe is the one for her.

As deputy of Shumard Oak Bend, Missouri, in 1875, Gabe “Little Sun” Manning sees the allure and harshness of frontier life. Amidst the chaos, he finds solace in the presence of Miss Betsy Smith, a compassionate schoolteacher whose independence and intellect captivate him as profoundly as her beauty. Yet, as their bond deepens, Gabe wrestles with doubts about his ability to fulfill the desires of her heart. Haunted by the secrets of his past and desperate for redemption, Gabe faces his most formidable challenge yet.

Written on My Heart is a powerful Christian Historical Romance full of resilience, redemption, and the enduring power of the human spirit.

Keeper of My Heart: A Shumard Oak Bend Novel (Discerning God’s Best Book 6)

by Heidi Gray McGill (Author)

4.8 43 4.8 on Goodreads 70 ratings

She’s never met a man who could keep up. He’s never met a challenge he couldn’t solve. But when love and faith collide, will either of them surrender their hearts?

Cecelia Grace Trexler Shankel has never met her match. Raised on the rugged frontier, she rides harder, shoots straighter, and knows the land better than most men. At eighteen, she’s expected to marry, but no suitor has ever been her equal—and she refuses to settle for less. Independent to a fault and fiercely intelligent, Cecelia has no patience for anyone who can’t keep up with her.

Then James “Jimmy” Reeves arrives.

A brilliant but socially awkward pharmacist, Jimmy Reeves has spent his life mastering medicine, not people. After earning his medical degree in Philadelphia, he pursues further studies at the new school of pharmacy in South Carolina, refining his knowledge of formulas and precision-based healing. But instead of returning to a life of privilege, he heads west, determined to learn the practical side of medicine—where science meets survival.

His plan is simple: study natural remedies, assist his friend Thomas Shankel’s clinic, and return with newfound expertise. What he never expects is Cecelia Shankel—a woman as wild and untamed as the land itself, challenging everything he thought he knew about strength, skill, and survival.

Their first meeting is a clash of worlds—her bold confidence against his quiet precision. She thinks he’s too stiff and bookish; he finds her exasperatingly unpredictable. But when a sudden smallpox outbreak threatens the town, they are forced to work together, testing their skills, patience, and faith.

As sparks fly and respect grows, Cecelia finds herself drawn to a man who challenges her not with strength, but with knowledge. And Jimmy discovers that some things—like love and faith—can’t be measured in scientific terms.
But Cecelia isn’t ready to let any man keep her heart.

And Jimmy isn’t sure he’s brave enough to try.

In a world where independence is survival, can two opposites surrender to God’s best plan for their lives?

Vision of My Heart: A Shumard Oak Bend Novel (Discerning God’s Best Book 7)

by Heidi Gray McGill (Author)

She lost her sight to smallpox... but God was never blind to her future.

Smallpox stole both her sight and the confidence she had worn as easily as her well-fitted dresses and neatly kept hair. Now blind and scarred inside and out, Serafina moves carefully through life, choosing composure over complaint and refinement over pity, determined to meet her altered world with quiet dignity.

When a sudden storm on the 1878 Missouri frontier leaves her stranded far from home, help arrives in the form of Connor Finnegan, a steady horseman from the neighboring Manning farm whose calm presence and unexpected humor unsettle her carefully ordered heart.

Connor has weathered enough loss to recognize it in others. Shaped by hardship, faith, and responsibility beyond his years, he offers Serafina no rescue or false assurances, only patience, kindness, and a way of seeing that reaches deeper than sight. What he does not expect is how easily her strength draws him in — or how God uses their unlikely companionship, despite the years between them, to awaken hopes he believed long buried.

As fear, pride, and faith press in from all sides, both must confront a truth neither expected. The future God offers may look nothing like the one they imagined, but it may be richer — and sweeter — than either dared to hope.

For Lauraine Snelling, Shanna Hatfield, Naomi Rawlings, Lauralyn Keller, Misty M. Beller, Lacy Williams, and Linda Ford fans, this inspirational western romance is a standalone novel in the Discerning God's Best series that will capture your heart and leave you breathless. You'll love this book if you enjoy gripping Christian historical fiction and compelling characters. Binge-read the entire series on Kindle Unlimited.

Love his book
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2021
I am really liking this author. I like her deep emotional personalities of her characters. In the first book, Rachel had a lot of emontional problems which she has matured and grown through in this book. I like seeing how Charlie came to be a man and finding his true love. I would have like to see a little more of his and Lizzy's trip moving cattle. It was a pertect ending with Pete and Singing Bird finding each other. I like how McGill brings different races together and hearing their stories. I would have liked to see more of the wedding day expanded. Looking forward to the next book that will probably tell more of their stories. A copy of this book was given to me from a person who was reading for correction.

This is Christian fiction at its best! Each book in the series is a heartwarming, inspiring read. Although each book can be read as a standalone, you will want to read the entire series purely for the enjoyment and inspiration each book offers.
