Overview

Eliza Fuller thought she was moving to Colorado for independence...will she accept God's plan when it differs from her own? As a single woman living in 1889 in Philadelphia, Eliza Fuller longs for independence from her controlling brother and the wealthy older men he is constantly trying to get her to marry. She wants nothing to do with a society where marriage is a business transaction. When she learns of an employment opportunity in Colorado, Eliza and her best friend, Lydia, gather their courage and travel west. Far from home, the ladies arrive in Durango, Colorado, only to discover all hope of employment is dashed. With no one else to turn to, they must take a chance on a stranger they hope can be trusted. Blake Matthews is no stranger to difficulty. His ranch has barely withstood three harsh winters, the bank has been threatening to take his land, he can't pay the workers he has, and he's been charged with raising two young nieces. Blake feels hopeless and certainly doesn't have time for a woman in his life. When Blake's ranch comes under attack and visitors from Eliza's past arrive, the two must learn to depend on one another. Will Eliza be able to gain the independence that she's always wanted, or will adversity send her back to the comfort of her brother's home and the life she has spent so many years trying to escape? The Heart Leads West is a story of resilience and trust in the face of upheaval and danger. Unexpected provision and new relationships prove God's faithfulness even when tragedy threatens to destroy the new future Eliza has worked so hard to secure.
