"Mattie's Heart" is Book One in "The Morgan Family Saga" series.

As a newlywed, Mattie Welch Morgan had specific ideas about what her married life would be like. None of those thoughts included going to Montana with her husband to start a cattle ranch. But after Brady Morgan decides they are going out west to homestead a claim, Mattie has to change her notions about her future.
Then tragedy strikes the Morgan family and Mattie is left struggling with her faith and wondering if her life is all a mistake. What will Mattie choose to do with her heart, and will she ever know true peace and happiness again?

"Mattie's Heart" takes place in the years spanning 1915-1919, and shares the story of one young couple with a pioneer spirit -- their trials, turmoil, and sorrows as they strive to find God's Will for their lives.

Those who have read the TRUE COVER SERIES by Ruth Kyser will recognize Brady and Mattie Morgan as the great-grandparents of FBI Agent, Samuel Clemens Morgan.
