Can Maggie's kindness soften a cruel heart? Her life may depend on it. Mrs. Crenshaw is one of the cruelest people in Dodge City-except maybe Thomas Gatlin himself! However, Mrs. Crenshaw has a particular dislike for Maggie Daniels. When Maggie's father decides to take another coal-mining job-just like the one that nearly cost him his life-Maggie vows to stop him, even if it means working for Mrs. Crenshaw. The eleven-year-old girl finds herself laboring in the shadow of a woman she calls her "enemy." To make matters worse, Maggie must look after Mrs. Crenshaw's troublesome nephews, Cecil and Elbert, who are set on getting her fired. Surrounded by enemies, Maggie does the only thing she can: She heaps coals of kindness upon them, but will this help them find God? Or will Maggie find herself the victim of a dangerous trap?
