Summary

From the bestselling author of The Christmas Box and The Locket comes the story of two broken people who come together to make each other whole.

The Looking Glass is a story about the healing power of love and about the distorted mirror in which we sometimes view ourselves, binding ourselves with shackles of self-doubt and fear.

It is the story of Hunter Bell, a Presbyterian minister turned gambler, and the founder of a gold camp named Bethel. He is running from the bitter memories of his past, his ministry, and ultimately, from his God.

Venturing into a blizzard to chase away wolves drawn close to his cabin by hunger, Hunter finds a beautiful young woman in the snow, wounded by the wolves and half dead with the cold. She is Quaye McGandley, an Irish woman sold into marital slavery to a brutal husband who then brought her to America against her will. As Hunter nurses her back to health, he finds that his tender ministrations to Quaye have opened his heart to his greatest fear -- that he might love again.
