A Worthy Pursuit by Karen Witemeyer

 

  When Charlotte Atherton, headmistress at Sullivan's Academy, finds out the school is unexpectedly going to close midterm she knows she must do something. So she takes the 3 vulnerable children who have no other safe place to go and leaves during the night.

But someone who can not be trusted is looking for one of the children. So bounty hunter Stone Hammond is hired for the job. He has a perfect record of always finding what he is looking for. But when he finally tracks them down he finds out that things may not be as simple as he thought.   This was another wonderfully done book by Karen Witemeyer! The characters were very well done and easy to relate to. The plot was wonderful, and had some twists and turns along the way. Charlotte and the children were very likable, and it was easy to connect with them and to see the hard life some of them had lived through. And I loved the exciting western parts with Stone. I also really enjoyed how the author added some humor in just the right places in the story. This was a great book and I highly recommend it!     I received this book free from Bethany House Publishers for my honest review. The opinions are my own.
