Carousel dreams

by Paige Winship Dooly

Ellie is furious. When Ellie discovers her recently deceased grandfather spent his entire life savings to purchase a carousel for their Great Salt Lake resort, she feels cheated. And she’s not afraid to give a piece of her mind to the scoundrel who arrives to build the carousel. Bascom Anthony is back on the job. After a staged fire killed his wife and son two years ago, he had yet to build another carousel—until now. Time has mended Bascom’s heart, but it has not ended the stalker’s threats. The longer Bascom stays to finish his job, the more damaging events occur at Ellie’s resort. Can Ellie’s newfound faith help her overcome her distrust of Bascom? And can Bascom trust the Lord to protect Ellie and her daughter from the same fate that claimed his wife and son?
