Roots of Wood and Stone, Wen Amanda

This historic home holds the keys to their destiny . . .and their hearts

Abandoned at birth, her family roots a mystery, historical museum curator Sloane Kelley has dedicated her life to making sure others know theirs. When a donor drops off a dusty old satchel, she doesnt expect much from the common artifact . . .until she finds real treasure inside: a nineteenth-century diary.Now shes on the hunt to find out more.

Garrett Anderson just wanted to clean out his grandmothers historic but tumbledown farmhouse before selling it to fund her medical care. With her advancing Alzheimers, he cant afford to be sentimental about the family home. But his carefully ordered plan runs up against two formidable obstacles: Sloane, whos fallen in love with both the diaries and the house, and his own heart, which is irresistibly drawn to Sloane.

A century and a half earlier, motherless Annabelle Collins embarks with her aunt and uncle on the adventure of a lifetime: settling the prairies of Sedgwick County, Kansas. The diaries she left behind paint a portrait of life, loss, and love--and a God who faithfully carries her through it all. Paging through the diaries together takes Sloane and Garrett on a journey they never could have planned, which will change them in ways they never imagined.
