Elise stood by the buggy, her cloak wrapped tightly against the chill. Her gaze followed Toby as he raced around the churchyard, playing tag with a half dozen other children. Some older members of the congregation disapproved of such behavior on the Sabbath. But most parents welcomed the chance for their youngsters to burn off energy between the long church service and the ride home.

The Christmas program had been rich in tradition, with candles, carols, a choral reading from St. Luke by the older children, and a sermon on the spirit of Christmas. In the past, Elise had loved the holiday. Now the message was bittersweet. How could she celebrate in the true spirit of love and forgiveness when her heart felt as cold as a stone?

“Merry Christmas, Mrs. McAllister.” Marshal Sam Dodson had been at the service. Tall and rawboned, with iron-gray whiskers and one bad eye, he had served at his post for as long as Elise could remember. “I hear Clay’s come home.”

Elise didn’t ask him how he knew. Maybe the authorities in Kansas had sent him word of Clay’s release. Or maybe someone had seen Clay on the road.
