We wrote this book for you, because we know you feel alone, like an outcast, like the world doesn't want you anymore, like you've been cut off from anything that used to feel normal. We wrote this book for you because the world you live in makes you feel worthless. Like you're God's mistake. Like you're not welcome, not here, not anywhere. Like you don't deserve anything from anyone but hate and rejection. We wrote this book for you because the world you live in makes you feel alone, even in your own town, your own neighborhood, your own school, or your own house. Even in those rare moments when you don't feel like the world hates you, it gets even worse than that, doesn't it? You feel invisible. Like you don't matter. Like no one around you will even look at you any more. Like they could care less whether you live or die. And that's when the pain takes on a name. You're a monster.You're a loser.You're useless.You're nothing. We know this world. We're also the outcasts, the monsters, and the losers. We know your suffering. The pain and the loneliness you feel is so powerful and so smothering that you're afraid that if you didn't hurt, you wouldn't feel anything at all. We understand that. We know that pain and that suffocating, crushing loneliness. But it's not as real as it feels. The pain lies to you. Let us show you why we know that and why you don't have to live in that world any more. Give us 28 days. One short chapter every day. Like any rehab program, we will walk with you out of your pain and into your new life. It will change your life. And we will be with you every step of the way. Work the program. 28 days. 28 days to find hope. 28 days to find peace. 28 days to Rise.

When the American Civil War ended Confederate officer Robert Ambrose left his fellow soldiers to return to the girl who had haunted his thoughts and dreams for the entirety of the war, but upon arriving home he learned that not only was the cause wrong, so was everything he had hoped to return to. The girl he was to marry was now promised to another, and his former mentor had cheated him. Disillusioned he left his home in River Falls, Georgia for something different: The Colorado Territory of the American West. Ambrose soon learned that the West was wild and untamed, and despite his effort to find peace and to create a normal and stable world, something continued to pull him toward death and ruin. While the former Confederate soldier made his way through the treacherous territory of Colorado the girl he thought had been lost to him chose to follow him to the West while facing hazards of her own. While they fight to survive and to find meaning in a dangerous and new place they both learn about themselves while always thinking of the other. But will they find each other in an unfamiliar world that is as inhospitable to love as it is to law and order?
