Prairie Storm (2010)
“Lily said softly. She cuddled the tiny baby beneath her white shawl and shivered with relief that Sam was nursing again. Though she and Elijah had only stepped outside the doctor’s office and climbed back into the wagon, somehow a wind of hope had lifted her spirits. The child would live. A future stretched ahead, filled with possibility and promise.
Beside Lily on the wagon bench, the broad-shouldered preacher fiddled with the mule’s reins. He hadn’t spoken since they told Mother Margaret, who... was seated in the rear of the wagon, the good news.
It was clear to Lily that Eli was all but overcome with emotion, knowing the baby would be all right. A man who truly loves a child. A man who can express something more than rage. A man who can weep. How rare and beautiful, she thought.
“Beatrice will be able to find us a place to stay,” Lily said, laying her hand on Elijah’s arm. “She knows Topeka better than I do, and she has acquaintances here.”
Though she had no intention of letting Elijah in on her plans, Lily had made up her mind to retrieve her melodeon from Beatrice Waldowski.MoreLess
