Signs Of Life

Arizona, 1878.  When longtime widower Earl finds an injured deaf youth on the prairie, he reluctantly decides to help the young man as compensation for not being there to save his wife and baby from a Mojave raiding party years earlier. He lodges “Bill” with a local widow, Laura, whose daughter is deaf. Soon, sign language and shared loss deepen Earl and Laura’s friendship and begin his healing. Together, they stand firm against the town’s prejudices, led by the boorish Mayor Potter.  But just when Earl believes his life has turned a corner, and he is ready to embrace love for this new woman, he learns the truth about his lost family.  As his dark past threatens to return, Earl must confront his guilt and prejudice or risk losing everything again.    Can Earl overcome his past failings and face down danger? Will Laura’s kindness and faith be repaid? Can Bill’s mistakes be fixed? Will love prevail?
