Sweetwater Promise

Daisey Winslow loves her small town of Sweetwater…and feels guilty that she can’t help wondering how she’d fare living and working in a bigger, faster-paced city. 

Just as she’s decided to try a bite of the Big Apple by taking a job in New York, along comes Deputy Sheriff Jack Samson. Her polar opposite, he’s left the mean streets to return home to Sweetwater’s peace and quiet, ready to find that special someone and raise a family, and the more time Daisey spends with him at rodeo events and on the wagon train trek, the calmer her itchy feet get and the duller the big-city lights shine, much to her dismay. 

Suddenly coming across the diary of Sadie Rose Winslow, her seven-times-great grandmother, and reading her simple but poignant words makes Daisey question her every decision. The sacrifices and challenges her ancestors faced in travelling across the continent in 1860 by Prairie Schooner is driven home by the experiences of Sadie, her husband Seth, and their unborn child. Sadie’s poignant words send echoes of the past down through the generations and into the present for Daisey, giving her both roots and wings with the simple message, follow your heart. Those words have cemented bonds that have lasted through lifetimes for all those who have made Sweetwater their home. 

Daisey’s not quite ready to give up on her dreams before she’s even started living them, however…but what if the dashing lawman can fill her head—and her heart—with different, closer-to-home desires? Ones they can share?
