Journey to Peace

Gripping and emotional historical fiction inspired by true events

Two brothers. Two frontiers. One faith strong enough to heal the past.
Bound by blood yet separated by scandal, identical twins Johnny and Callum McKuen must each find their own path to peace on a divided frontier. From New Orleans to the wilds of Texas, danger, love, and forgiveness will test their courage—and the strength of their faith. A powerful conclusion to The American Journey Series by USA Today Bestselling and Carol Award–Winning Author Lyn Cote.

Identical twin brothers, unjustly outcast and parted, must each confront the legacy of their family name. Rejected by New Orleans society, Johnny McKuen has fled to the Mexican frontier of Texas, determined to forge a new life far from the scandal that destroyed his reputation. When his childhood friend Tristan arrives with a mortally wounded neighbor, Johnny finds himself drawn into a mystery. The young widow, Angel, demands answers: who shot her husband—and why was he being scalped? Protecting her soon becomes Johnny’s greatest test of courage and faith.

Back at Beau Rivage Plantation, Callum McKuen faces the other half of the family’s burden—men scheming to force him to sell his ancestral home. Into this struggle steps Minette, a young woman concealing her beauty beneath layers of clothing. Callum’s curiosity turns to compassion, and then to love, but Minette’s hidden scars—emotional and physical—threaten to keep them apart.

Across two dangerous frontiers, the McKuen twins must confront betrayal, rediscover faith, and choose forgiveness over pride. Only then can they reclaim their family’s honor—and their own peace.

A compelling and redemptive dual romance from USA Today Bestselling and Carol Award–Winning Author Lyn Cote, Journey to Peace delivers a satisfying, faith-filled conclusion to The American Journey Series.

One family’s saga, a young nation’s story~

“I found the story lines for both Callum and Johnny to be equally compelling. I liked the way the author went back and forth between the stories, so that I was aware of what was going on and the tension and danger building in both locations.”
