Leaving behind the crowded streets of New York, she expects a new life filled with prosperity and ease—one far removed from the blisters and hardship of her past. But when she arrives in the humble frontier town of Timber Falls, Montana, her illusions are shattered. Her intended, Clive Baker, is a rugged lumberjack living in a weathered home, far from the man of means she had imagined.

When tragedy strikes, the truth of her reality hits Lillian hard. She prays that Clive will survive to forgive her selfishness.
