Brother Beloved — Margo Hansen

“He said to tell you he didn't mean it.” Shawn knew his pa was talking about Dylan, but that didn't change the fact that there was a rift between the two men. Once brothers, they were now barely speaking to one another. Shawn knew the real reason and knew there was no choice for him but to get away, leave the farm and his troubles behind him. Joining up with a logging camp far from everyone seemed like a good idea until he realized that his troubles came along with him. But Shawn wasn't the only one who had struggles in life. The camp cook had a niece who worked with him and she was a mystery to the men. Why did she stay hidden away in the woods, working from sunup to sundown, never conversing with anyone? Katya saw the young logger stare at her when he caught her off-guard. She thought that would be the last she saw of him, but hadn't counted on his getting hurt and having to care for him. When the tables turn and she has to depend on him to take her out of the woods, she has to find a way to face people again. Brother Beloved is Margo Hansen's third book in her Tall Timber Trilogy. The Dunns, the Blackmores, and Katya all discover that being a part of a family means so much more when God is your heavenly father.
