THE LONGING OF THE DAY

Three-year-old Matt Jamison hides under a bush by the creek, clutching his infant sister, Catty, as he watches Indians massacre his parents. His father's friends, Ben Clayton and his wife, Anne, rescue the orphans and raise them as their own.

Growing up with the Claytons' own daughter, Eve, Matt's brotherly care matures into forbidden love. Unable to speak of his love for Eve and hurt his adoptive parents, Matt leaves his childhood ranch home to rove as a cowhand. Only their faith in God, their family, and each other give them hope for the future.
