Rock and A Hard Place

Love in Eastern Oregon

Faith Conrad has spent her life carrying the weight of responsibility. After stepping in to raise her twin sisters when her mother became ill, she sacrificed her own dreams and had to drop out of high school to keep food on the table. Now, at last, she’s chasing a future behind the lens as a nature photographer.

But when a climbing mishap leaves her needing a rescue by Shane Zadopec, a Bureau of Land Management ranger—and a talented photographer in his own right—Faith’s hard-won independence feels suddenly at risk. Shane’s kindness stirs something she doesn’t want to admit, and his passion for photography threatens the career she’s fought so hard to build.

Faith has always trusted her grit and determination. But when it comes to matters of the heart, will she learn to trust God enough to picture a life with Shane?

The Three Sisters Mountains are part of the Cascade Mountain Range near the town of Sisters, Oregon. The peaks were named Faith, Hope, and Charity by early settlers. In the Cascade Brides series, three estranged siblings named for the mountains, each in the far-flung reaches of the state, are drawn back to their childhood home in Sisters by men who ultimately help the siblings realize the blessings of family bonds.

Scenic, sweet love story

Faith is the oldest of three estranged sisters, and in Eastern Oregon, finds love and hope.
