Theophil Garrison is on the run from a past and a label he's desperate to escape. Ten years ago, his outlaw cousins convinced him to take part in a train robbery, but Theo fled the scene, leaving his cousins to face imprisonment. Branded a coward and running for his life, a chance encounter could provide Theo with the escape he needs. But the young man's desperate con might come at an enormous price for the tenderhearted Grace--and the entire town. 20170324. Christian fiction. Love stories. Large Print.
