There was one constant in her life in the form of a young, orphaned boy by the name of Paul Trent. Beth and Paul were great friends from the first time they met. As they grew older, their friendship deepened and turned into love and then marriage. Beth was extremely happy and thankful for the life she had with Paul, but sometimes, life can take a cruel turn. On a snowy Valentine's Day, Paul was quickly taken from her. Her world, along with her hopes and dreams, crumbled before her. Could she journey on alone, or did she even want to? Was there any healing to be had for her broken dreams? Only God could send healing of this sort, but was Beth ever going to be able to find it? If healing even came her way, would she recognize it? Would she be open to following her heart, or was her heart irreparably broken?

Twenty-four-year-old Kathleen Harrison is known for her kind heart and helpful personality, but when she befriends Emily Lewis, a sick young widow, she has no idea how her life is about to change. At Emily's death, Katie is designated to be the guardian of her two small orphaned girls. In trying to grant Emily's last wish, Katie is now left with the monumental task of introducing the children to their mother's estranged family in faraway Wyoming. Traveling alone with two small girls on a seven-hundred-mile trip from South Dakota was hard enough, but that was nothing compared to what Katie faced at the end of her journey. Meeting the grandmother was easy, but Emily's brother was a force to be reckoned with. His suspicion that Katie was a greedy con artist using his small nieces as pawns was evident. The more Katie tried to convince him that her intentions were solely to acquaint the girls with their relatives, the more obstinate he became. Her desire to be a Christian witness to Emily's mother and brother seemed impossible. Would she ever be able to win the confidence of Kyle Eastin or would she be forced to return home to South Dakota without accomplishing her goal? Another fear troubled her greatly: Would the newfound relatives try to take the children from her? And would they win? As she faced many uncertainties, the only sure thing she knew to do was to turn to her Lord and His Word.
