Cady's Legacy Mary Ann Kerr

With the death of her mother and brother, Cadence Cassidy decides to run away from a drunken father, who, she decides, has beaten her for the last time. When fever struck, Cady's mother had shorn her hair short as a boy's, giving her the idea to don her brother's clothes and strike out on her own. The contents of a satchel kicked under her bed are a mystery, but she unwittingly takes it...not realizing until it is too late, her father will hunt her down to find it. Born in abject poverty, seventeen year old Cadence believes no God exists, and if He does, He certainly doesn't like her very much. Elijah Humphries, always adept at listening to God speak to his heart, uncovers the truth of a tragic circumstance along with the help of inspector George Baxter. Set in the 1880's, Cady's journey leads to a legacy beyond her wildest dreams.
