    After a stalker went too far, Hannah Hilty and her family had no choice but to leave the bustling Amish community where she grew up. Now she’s getting a fresh start in Hart County, Kentucky…if only she wasn’t too scared to take it. Hannah has become afraid to trust anyone—even Isaac, the friendly Amish man who lives next door. She wonders if she'll ever return to the trusting, easy-going woman she once was.   
     
    For Isaac Troyer, the beautiful girl he teasingly called “The Recluse” confuses him like no other. When he learns of her past, he knows he's misjudged her.

But as Hannah and Isaac slowly grow closer, they realize that there’s always more to someone than meets the eye. 
     
    Just as Hannah is finally settling into her new life, and perhaps finding a new love, more secrets are revealed and tragedy strikes. Now Hannah must decide if she should run again or dare to fight for the future she has found in Hart County.

    Émile Zola was a French novelist and journalist who lived in the 19th century. Money was a recurring theme in many of his works, including his most famous series of novels, Les Rougon-Macquart. 
    In Les Rougon-Macquart, Zola explored the impact of money on French society during the Second Empire, a period of rapid industrialization and economic growth. He depicted the corrupting influence of money on individuals and society, and the destructive consequences of greed and avarice. 
    In his novel L'Argent (Money), Zola examines the world of finance and speculation in Paris during the 1860s. The novel follows the rise and fall of the powerful financier Aristide Saccard, who uses his wealth and influence to manipulate the stock market and exploit the working class. Zola portrays Saccard as a symbol of the excesses and immorality of capitalism, and shows how his pursuit of money ultimately leads to his downfall. 
    Overall, Zola's works provide a critical commentary on the role of money in society and the dangers of unchecked capitalism. His writings continue to be studied and appreciated for their insight into the complex relationship between money, power, and human behavior.

They call him Calamity—for a reason. 
     
     
     
    Calvin Amadeus James, aka Calamity, isn't an outlaw like his notorious brothers Jesse and Frank. He's worse—due to the bad luck that follows him everywhere he goes. Every job he takes—from army scout to gambler to cowboy and rail worker—ends in catastrophe. No matter what he does, Calamity James always seems to be on the wrong side of history . . .

He's just a magnet for bad luck who's trying to find his good luck charm—a pretty little dancehall girl known as Clumsy Catherine. But somewhere along the way, he foolishly joins the James-Younger Gang with his outlaw brothers. And that's when Calamity's infamous bad luck gets a whole lot worse . . .
