Chapter 76

“Hold on there, Taylor. I’m going to offer prayers for a safe crossing.”

This took Sam aback. Even the rigors of the trial and his guilt at starting the fire had not dampened the man’s arrogance.

Garrett, however, nodded. “That’d be good, Reverend. We’re gonna need all the help we can to cross safe.” He removed his hat. Those gathered on the bank with him followed suit.

This time Rayburn’s prayer was simple and, Sam felt, more sincere than he had ever heard from the man. Maybe something had changed in him after all.
