Bible Verse for Encouragement

Matthew 6:19-20, NKJV Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

Mary Connealy’s New Book: Whispers of Fortune

Brody MacKenzie arrives at the Two Harts Ranch in search of his runaway brothers. Instead of being in danger, he finds them flourishing under the care of Ellie Hart, the compassionate overseer of the ranch’s school and orphanage. With his options limited, Brody reluctantly steps into the role of ranch doctor and over time forms an unexpected bond with Ellie.

The plot thickens when Brody’s brothers reveal a mysterious journal that may lead them to lost treasure. As winter approaches and old adversaries resurface, Brody and Ellie must race against time to decipher cryptic clues, unearth a hidden fortune, and protect their growing affection and the ranch.
