Mariah Hardwick Penngrove's wagon arrives in Remington River, California, in 1849. Along the way, she lost a husband but developed a backbone. Nothing was going to stop her from living and breathing "the beyond" described by Meriwether Lewis. She kept her mother's copy of The Journals of Lewis and Clark close at hand, ever ready with an appropriate quote for inspiration. Once Mariah saw Hasten Peak, snow-capped and dominating the landscape above Remington River, she knew she had found her Beyond.When she becomes embroiled in a land dispute between the bandit, Pajaro Mendonca, and, Po Fong, Chinatown madam and leader of a notorious tong, Mariah's notion of the wilderness and untouched horizons is turned upside down. At Widow Creek, she finds that decisions are not so straightforward and that trust is a shadowy business.Fast forward to 2015¿ Three weather-worn and inscribed boulders are found on a remote hillside below Hasten Peak. A manuscript that Mariah penned about her days at Widow Creek is uncovered during a search for the meaning behind the boulders. What was left unwritten about the remainder of Mariah's life in Remington River is revealed by a group of historical sleuths. The provenance of the boulders and the legacy left behind pins the past to the present.

A grief that knows no boundary. A love without any limit. A need that doesn’t end at death. Corrie Saunders grew up in a life of privilege. But she gave it all up for Jarrod, her Army husband, a man she knew was a hero when she vowed to spend her life with him. She just didn’t expect her hero to sacrifice his life taking on an Iraqi suicide bomber. Six months after Jarrod’s death, Corrie retreats to the family home her husband inherited deep in the Missouri Ozarks. She doesn’t know how to live without Jarrod—she doesn’t want to. By moving to Saunders Creek and living in a house beloved by him, she hopes that somehow her Jarrod will come back to her. Something about the house suggests maybe he has. Corrie begins to wonder if she can feel Jarrod’s presence. Jarrod’s cousin Eli is helping Corrie with the house’s restoration and he knows that his dead cousin is not what Corrie senses. Eli, as a believing man and at odds with his mystically-oriented family members, thinks friendly visits from beyond are hogwash. But he takes spirits with dark intentions seriously. Can he convince Corrie that letting go of Jarrod will lead to finding her footing again— and to the One she can truly put her faith into?

Frank and Joe find themselves in a cattle-rustling tussle when a prized horse is snatched from a nearby ranch in this exciting Hardy Boys equestrian adventure. The Wild West hits the East Coast when Welch’s Annual Rodeo and Wild West Show arrives in Bayport. Frank and Joe are enjoying the show’s historic reenactments, rodeo events, and even an exhibition of the Welch family’s prize-winning horse, Hondo. When the brothers catch several ranch hands trying to steal Hondo, they manage to stop it. Though very grateful for their intervention, the Welch family is now shorthanded for the cattle drive back to their dude ranch! So Chief Olaf “volunteers” the Hardys to help out. The brothers’ long-dormant horse-riding skills slowly come back to them as they make their way down the quiet rural roads toward the ranch. But as they’re finally getting the hang of it, a group of dirt bike–riding cattle rustlers surround the herd—and take Hondo! Will the Hardy Boys lasso the horse thieves—or will this be their final showdown?
