Kisses From Heaven

Eight-year old Cassandra lives on a rice plantation. She loves life, the only thing she would change would be the evil man she has for a father. Because of her evil father, she takes to one of the slaves, a kind man named Nathaniel. When Cassie witnesses the murder of her mother, Nathaniel helps her leave the plantation by way of the secret underground railroad. Nearly a week later, Cassie finds herself lost, cold, and hungry. She collapses on the side of a road.

After losing his wife and daughter to the fever, Amos Rackley falls into a depression. During this time he didn't work at all. Once all the food and money were gone, Amos stole from the local general store. He serves sometime in jail, the kind store owner being a friend and letting him off easy. Amos decides to head west to start a new life for himself. Heading out with very few possesions and one trusty old mule, he soon discovers a young child lying on the side of the road. He nurses her back to health and begins to feel a closeness to the young girl as she reminds him of his own daughter. He believes her when she says that both of her parents are dead and rashly decides to take her west with him.

What does God have in store for Amos and Cassie? Can Cassie escape her past and the devious father she left behind?
