In the small town of Smoke River, Washington, everyone knows the Elect of God. They're good religious people, honest, hardworking-and they're hiding some dreadful secrets. Dinah Traynell is trapped in a life she didn't choose and cannot leave. Since childhood, the Elect are told it's God's will that they serve the Shepherds, the itinerant ministers of the church. Since puberty, that service has become darker for Dinah Traynell.
More physical. Unthinkable and deeply secret. Though she dreams of another life, she's never known anything but the church, so while she submits, she still resents being forced to cast her pearls before swine. So when she answers the door one night to find a homeless man on the step, her first act of rebellion is to help him. Dr. Matthew Nicholas, disgraced university professor, had never heard of the Elect before he was robbed, left penniless, and wandered into Smoke River.
He has never met a woman like Dinah, so vulnerable and yet so strong, with a capacity for love that has no outlet except in the care of her flock of chickens. As she slowly grapples with the flawed faith of the Elect, Matthew struggles with his fear of getting involved. He's grateful for meals and a room, but he's only the hired man. When Dinah's teenage sister abandons her own baby, its innocence is the catalyst that forces Dinah and Matthew to trust one another .
and two lost souls catch a glimpse of hope. But is it enough to dispel the darkness? Or is it already too late for Dinah to break free without being trampled? "A gut-wrencher with poignant style and refreshing breaths of humor." -Jill Elizabeth Nelson, RT Book Reviews
