Since his wife’s tragic death, Matthias Mason has served as the only doctor in Bear Valley. When he ventures out on his spring circuit through the foothills, it’s obvious Death is on the prowl. With lives on the line, Matthias battles to stay one step ahead. But when Death comes looking for him, will Matthias face his own brokenness and allow God to heal the wounds festering in his heart?

While his sister is out on the circuit, assisting Doc, twelve-year-old Samuel Morgan sets out to prove he can be trusted to do what's right and that his penchant for stories is more than a pastime. When his best friend’s brother returns to Bear Valley married to a city girl and buys back the old family homestead, things don’t add up. Sam knows where there’s a secret, there’s a story. But he's not prepared for how his well-intentioned decision to find the truth will affect everyone in Bear Valley. In the continuation of this family saga, God shows Matthias and Samuel that healing begins with brokenness and some wounds only He can bind.
