by Stephanie Daniels (Author)

Christian Teen/YA Historical Fiction

Tucson, Arizona Territory, 1873

Seventeen-year-old Sara Jane Carter would love nothing more than to succeed her father as editor of their fledgling Tucson newspaper, despite his wishes for her to marry. He's even chosen the ideal match: Keller Callahan, the charming apprentice who is now unattached after a recent relationship ended in disappointment and heartbreak.

Courtship is the last thing on Sara Jane's mind when a health crisis and a nationwide financial panic leaves her to manage the paper's upkeep amid dwindling subscribers and supply shortages. Facing mounting debt, she dares to attract new readership by printing a big headline targeting the one man in town who could destroy her livelihood. As she delves deeper, Keller seems to oppose her at every step, though maybe not for the reasons she thinks.

Will she forge ahead, risking Keller's friendship and the paper's reputation? Or will she rely on God despite the obstacles threatening her hopes and dreams?
