Return to Kings Meadow in this heartfelt two-novella collection. I Hope You Dance (2015) introduced readers to Skye Foster. Now, in Bible and a .44 , Robin Lee Hatcher takes you back to 1932 to meet two of Skye’s ancestors. Experience love, faith, and resilience across generations in these two captivating tales. BIBLE AND A .44 : A past to redeem, a love to reclaim, and a faith to guide the way. Jesse Graham returns to Kings Meadow a changed man, determined to atone for the mistakes of his wild youth. He longs to rebuild his relationship with his widowed mother and make amends to those he wronged—especially Willow Foster, the pastor’s granddaughter who once loved him despite his wicked ways. Willow has spent years trying to forget Jesse, guarding her heart against the pain he caused. But his return stirs emotions she thought she’d buried, and she must decide if she can trust the man he’s become. With a heart surrendered to Jesus, Jesse faces the consequences of his past while serving the community he once shamed. As he works to prove his transformation, he finds himself falling for Willow in a new and lasting way—and hoping for a future that holds more than her forgiveness. I HOPE YOU DANCE: Can two left feet lead to one perfect romance? Grant Nichols is a culinary genius but a disaster on the dance floor. When his friend’s wedding calls for ballroom moves, he reluctantly signs up for lessons with Skye Foster, Kings Meadow’s dance teacher and former rodeo queen. Skye spends her days teaching kids ballet and her evenings leading adults in Country Swing, fueled by her own love of dance. Grant is content as a bachelor, believing his big family gave him all the “kid experience” he’ll ever need. Skye, however, dreams of a future filled with children and a loving partner. Grant and Skye are no match on paper. But when they step onto the dance floor, they move to a love song all their own. "Bible and a .44 is a story full of redemption and hope. Hope not only for wayward sons and daughters, but for the people who love them as well. With her gift of storytelling, Robin Lee Hatcher brings a Great Depression-era small town in Idaho to life, where a cast of characters live out a story that is both believable and inspiring, reminding us that no one is so lost they can't come home." ~ Michelle Shocklee, award-winning author of All We Thought We Knew and Appalachian Song When I first created the town of Kings Meadow in my novel, A Promise Kept , I had no idea that it would become beloved by readers as well as become one of my favorite settings for stories. Three more novels and one novella ( I Hope You Dance ) set in Kings Meadow soon followed. Ten years later, I found myself wishing I could set another story in Kings Meadow. And how perfect if it could be related in some way to the characters in I Hope You Dance . But when should it be set? In my existing novels, Kings Meadow's history went back to the gold rush days. Did I want to write something in the past or in the present? At first I couldn't decide. Then my hair stylist mentioned a country song to me, one that I hadn't heard before. The title was "Bible and a .44." It wasn't long before a story began to take shape in my imagination. I enjoyed my return to Kings Meadow in Bible and a .44 , and I hope readers will love these two stories about the Foster family. Look for the family tree at the end of From This Moment On .
