Touch of Compassion

Hannah Cooper and the rest of the Fort Bridger settlers find their lives in peril during southern Wyoming’s worst winter in forty years. First the neighboring Indian tribes-except for the Crow-go on the warpath after some of the whites refuse them food. Then an influenza epidemic sweeps in on the tails of a raging blizzard, threatening both Fort Bridger and the Crow village. As the epidemic worsens and food supplies dwindle, Hannah and the other settlers must search their hearts for a way to respond to the crisis in compassion . . .and still survive.
