From Heartaches to Happiness is a story of two siblings who are forced by unforeseen circumstances to make a new life. The girl, B.J., is 13, and her brother Grady is nine. Their parents are killed when Indians attack the wagon train going to the free land in the West. With home, they journeyed on, determined to fill the dreams of their parents. Both are forced to grow up fast, dealing with things children their age shouldnA[a--a[t have to. They are blessed; God is watching over them because he sends an older mountain man, Webster Thompson, to accompany them to Casper, Wyoming, and helps them settle The Rocking H Ranch.
