John Jacob Worthington Jones (Second Chances Christian Romances) by Billie Houston

In 1935 John Jones is an unrepentant hobo and con-man whose past has caught up with him. He is being carted off to jail when a strange young woman with a two-year-old child on her hip stops the police chief, insisting there has been a mistake. The man the officer has in tow is her husband, Reverend John Jacob Worthington Jones. Edith Harvey needs a man with nothing to lose. Who better than someone at odds with the law? She says a short prayer, and tells a little lie. The domino effect of her hasty falsehood sets in motion a chain of unexpected events that will change her life forever. Editor's Note: Revised in 2020 to remove mild swearing.
