Mysterious Ways is set in Central Texas in 1860. Amos is a rugged outlaw who decides to hide in the next town as a circuit riding preacher after his latest stunt. Joseph, a Godly, blind, black man who works at the jail, is not deceived by Amos yet sees how the town could benefit from a preacher. As the mentoring begins, I assumed the characters would develop in an orderly fashion but to my welcome surprise the twists continue. I found myself eager to see what these characters would be up to next. If you like fiction with an old western flare, you will enjoy this book.
