A letter promised Carly Dugan a fresh start. Instead, it led her to the edge of everything she feared.
Cartersville, Georgia, 1946. Carly Dugan has done her best to hold her marriage together after a sawmill accident leaves her husband, Julian, without his right arm, without work, and without hope. Their little home is falling apart, winter is coming, and Carly is carrying a secret she prays will give Julian a reason to live again.
Then a letter arrives from Pearl Greene, an old friend in Marl, Alabama, offering what sounds like the answer to every prayer—a job for Julian, a place to stay, and a chance to begin again.
But the road to Alabama changes everything.
When tragedy leaves Carly alone in a town full of strangers, only Cooper Flannigan stands between her and complete ruin. A kindhearted veteran with burdens of his own, Cooper has come to Marl to raise his orphaned niece, Emma—a little girl whose aching need awakens something in Carly she thought had been buried forever.
But Pearl Greene is not the friend she pretends to be. As Pearl’s charm tightens around Cooper and her eyes turn toward Emma, Carly must decide whether to run back to the life she knows—or stay and fight for a child who is not hers, a man she does not fully trust, and a future only God could redeem.
Plow Hand is a heartfelt Christian historical romance about loss, deception, forgiveness, and the courage to keep going when life is anything but fair.
