Sneak peek into Love on the Horizon

The best dreams were the ones that came true.

And Magnolia Davenport’s dreams were about to come true. She could feel it in her bones, as old Mrs. Fryman used to say.

She took a step back and scanned the bustling city. Hadn’t she read in a discarded newspaper that Chicago had reached over a million people? Yes, her decision to travel West would be a good one.

The train depot beckoned her, and she entered the stately brick Dearborn Station with its enormous clock tower. Folks hurried in every direction. Hopefully, with twenty-some railroad lines and countless departures, one of those departures would surely lead her to the new life that awaited her.

No one would be the wiser that a twenty-three-year-old woman would be boarding for free.

For what could she do? The two dollars she’d saved would only be for absolute necessities.

The lines to purchase tickets meandered through the building. Mags stood on tiptoe to see the departure signs when she noticed a wealthy couple in front of her in deep conversation.

“I anxiously anticipate seeing our grandchildren again,” the woman, who wore an elegant dress of the latest fashion, said.

“Yes, well, I’m never fond of visiting Horizon, but I know how much it means to you, and it’s been all of two months since we saw the grandchildren.”

“Indeed, Bertram. I miss them the second we board the train for Denver, and this time, having been in Maryland, I miss them all the more. Besides, Horizon is such a lovely place, and the people are so kind. I’ve actually made a few friends there.”

The man named Bertram, in the finest of silk hats, grunted. “Yes, Gladys, we all know you’ve made friends in Horizon.”

The topic that Bertram and Gladys spoke about intrigued Magnolia, and she stepped closer. Horizon sounded like just the place she’d like to live, especially if people were kind. Goodness knows she’d had her share of spiteful and cruel people in Chicago—many of whom were related.

Devoted To Hope's Review of Love on the Horizon

Magnolia “Mags” Davenport’s journey mirrors the ache of anyone who has ever longed to belong. Her story isn’t only about starting over in a new place; it’s about letting go of the old wounds that followed her there. Through her eyes, readers glimpse what it means to be accepted, cherished, and fully known by God.

Through laughter, reflection, and gentle moments of faith, Penny Zeller reminds us that forgiveness isn’t a faraway gift; it’s a promise waiting at the feet of Jesus. Each page holds the quiet assurance that peace is found not in forgetting the past, but in surrendering it to the One who redeems every piece of it.

And then there is Timothy Shepherdson; patient, steadfast, and unexpectedly kind. His calm presence and humor add warmth and light to Mags’s world, reminding us that sometimes God places people in our lives not to fix us, but to show us His heart. Their story is sweet, tender, and perfectly suited for this season of grace.

This story moves with perfect pacing, like a prayer whispered through a shattered heart. It speaks to the places we hide, the corners still learning how to forgive what was done and to release to Jesus what cannot be undone. In that surrender, you can almost feel the Lord’s gentleness; the Savior who draws us close and says, “I love you, child. Let’s crawl through this together. Keep your hand in Mine, your eyes on Me.”

The new beginnings here bloom softly in laughter between friends, in the warmth of a kitchen, in the quiet faith of a farmer. Every ordinary moment becomes extraordinary when seen through grace-washed eyes.

A quiet truth rises from these pages; “If only good things happened in our lives, we wouldn’t need a Savior.” Those words rest like sunlight on the heart, revealing that grace often blooms in the soil of what once brought sorrow.

Zeller captures the way God is always there for us, ready to rebuild lives quietly and powerfully, one softened heart at a time; until Jesus’ love becomes the horizon itself.

In the stillness of Love on the Horizon, a soul finds what it was always searching for; forgiveness, acceptance, and the steady belonging of a Savior whose love becomes the horizon itself.

Perfect for readers who long for faith-filled fiction that blends gentle romance with eternal truth; stories that leave you smiling through tears and standing firmly in grace.
