High-Stakes Drama Meets High-Tension Romance In 1883 Michigan, Lily Young is on a mission to save her lost sister, or die trying. Heedless of the danger, her searches of logging camps lead her to Harrison and into the sights of Connell McCormick, a man doing his best to add to the hard-earned fortunes of his lumber baron father. Posing during the day as a photographer's assistant, Lily can't understand why any God-fearing citizen would allow evil to persist and why men like Connell McCormick turn a blind eye to the crime rampant in the town. But Connell is boss-man of three of his father's lumber camps in the area, and like most of the other men, he's interested in clearing the pine and earning a profit. He figures as long as he's living an upright life, that's what matters. Lily challenges everything he thought he knew, and together they work not only to save her sister but to put an end to the corruption that's dominated Harrison for so long.

Just when Henry Feller thought his life was made and he could kick back and spend his days hunting and taking care of his grandmother, he was challenged to take on the safest assignment of his career. It would be so simple, just go and cover a trade exposition. See some old friends again. Write a book about it when he returned home. Life never turns out the way we think it will. For Henry, that safe assignment lasted nearly seven years, most of them in mortal peril, on two continents and on both sides of the Great War. The experience changed the world, and Henry, fundamentally. And nearly forty years and another World War later, Henry was compelled to go back and relive some of the worst days of his life for the best of reasons. Haunted by what he knew and what he saw and what he had to do. It was, for all of Henry's days, a great expedition, a Haya Safari.

You know the drill. Somebody asks, “How are you?” and you respond automatically: “Crazy busy!” “I’m exhausted!” “Running too fast.” And it’s no wonder! Between the breakneck speed of your job, the one million family activities on the calendar, the volunteer luncheon you signed up to host, the growing to-do list on your phone, and the workout you’ve been meaning to get to for weeks—if you ever stopped long enough to think about it, you’d be curled up in the fetal position on the floor. Life these days. It’s exhausting, isn’t it? Ellen Miller gets it—and she wrote Spread Too Thin just for you. Whatever stage of life you find yourself in, you don’t have to live it frantically. Written for women who care deeply and extend themselves selflessly, this 90-day devotional offers an honest look at the obligations that have drained us and then point us toward a more abundant life with Jesus. Through personal stories, practical insights, and classic Ellen humor, you’ll discover that it is possible to find hope—and even peace!—throughout your harried, overcommitted days.
