Amos Taylor’s brazenness made the hold up successful. A disguise appeared in the form of a pastor’s suit and collar. Who would suspect a preacher in these parts? Little did he realize, God had bigger plans for him. He arrived in Quiet Valley and met blind Joseph Washington. What Joseph’s physical eyes couldn’t see, his spiritual eyes could make out. Amos had a good heart that God could fashion.
Amos’s charade led him to pastor the small town church with much coaching from Joseph. Would it also lead him to capture the heart of beautiful Judy? How would she react if she knew the truth about his past life?
Terry Burns has a rich command of Western life. His wonderful characterization and unusual plots give the reader a wonderful experience. Mysterious Ways is an excellent read.
