The One Forever Promise: Sean Donovan/Donovan's Daughter (The Californians 3-4)

Drawing Lori Wick's story of 1870s California to its captivating conclusion, the novels of The One Forever Promise follow the fortunes of the last two members of the Patrick Donovan family. In Sean Donovan, Patrick's only son abandons all he has loved - home, family, and God - in a desperate flight that nearly ends at the gallows. Rescued by a marriage of convenience, Sean's repentant heart just might change his new bride's mind when it comes to loving him. In Donovan's Daughter, Sean's younger sister Marcail is also determined to escape Santa Rosa. But when the young woman is thrust into a small-town scandal that threatens her brand new teaching career, she must choose whether to hold on to her dreams or choose an unexpected path. Historically accurate and uplifting, here are two masterful tales of love, faith, and courage in early California.
