This Time Forever

Scared and alone after her mother dies at sea on a trip from Scotland to America, young, innocent Lilly Brannigan finds that life in a new, unforgiving land takes courage and fortitude. Her only chance for safety and survival lies in joining a group of kind Mormon converts whose dream is to find their promised land in a new world. But even the tenuous safety with Lilly’s adopted family is imperiled by the hatred and conflict that besieges the sect wherever they go. Not a Mormon herself, Lilly fears she will never find the peace and comfort she’d hoped for, until she meets and falls for a handsome American soldier, Chase Mitchell. Passion and joy fill her heart when Chase offers love and marriage and the hope of a settled life free of strife. But Chase is forced to ride off to war in Mexico, and when he does not return, Lilly is left with a shameful secret and no wedding ring. Lilly survives a loveless marriage to man who agrees to save her honor. But fate leaves her on her own once more. Desperate to provide for her precious son, Lilly utilizes her greatest talent, a fabulous singing voice, to stay solvent. This gift, and her fierce determination to protect her son, earn Lilly fame and fortune in a wild Nevada mining town. Still, money and success cannot mend Lilly Brannigan’s broken heart. She can’t help wondering what happened to the only man she ever truly loved … the handsome soldier who’d promised to love her forever. Based loosely on a true story, This Time Forever portrays the pride, strength and courage of the American pioneer woman.
