Missionary Hearts

In the breathtaking Andes mountains of Valle de Vida, two lives collide—Grace Thompson, an idealistic nurse from Boston with a heart for healing, and Miguel Santos, a guarded teacher devoted to protecting his remote village’s traditions. Their missions are the same: serve the people. But their methods, values, and past scars set them on a course of conflict and misunderstanding.

When culture clashes and buried pain threaten to derail their work, a wounded child, a raging mountain storm, and a harrowing rescue force Grace and Miguel into reluctant partnership. As mutual respect grows, so do feelings they both try to deny. But just as love begins to bloom, new opportunities test their commitment to each other—and to the village they’ve come to call home.

Missionary Hearts is a stirring tale of faith, cross-cultural love, and the power of service. With vibrant characters, emotional depth, and a setting as rich as its message, this novel explores what happens when two wounded hearts answer the same sacred call—and discover that grace can build bridges where words fall short.
