β¦ Synopsis
In this epic and unforgettable love story, set in the wilds of Missouri and the glamour of high society Boston at the dawn of the Gilded Age, one woman's life changes forever the day that a stranger turns up on her doorstep.
Missouri, February 1874: The last thing struggling homesteader Ginny needs is a scandal on her hands. But when a badly injured drifter arrives at Snow Farm in desperate need of medical attention, Ginny's kind nature and good upbringing means she has no choice but to treat his wounds and care for him until he's back on his feet, no matter the danger he might pose.
Ginny's been running the farm and looking after her fourteen-year-old sister Mary-Lou since their papa died two years ago, each morning pulling on his old leather coat and pushing her feet into stout boots that come up to her knees, before heading out to tend to the cattle. She's determined to hold onto the one thing that connects them to memories of their parents - whatever the cost. And when their uninvited guest - Lex - is well enough he offers his help, and she surprises herself by accepting it.
But not long after Lex moves on, Ginny realises that her heart has gone with him. And when the farm's fortunes take a turn for the worse, she faces her hardest test yet. Can she save the only home she's ever known, and everything she holds dear? And what if doing so means risking a chance at love and happiness she never expected to come her way? An utterly spellbinding story perfect for fans of Amy Harmon, Olivia Hawker and Kristin Hannah. Readers will love this breathtaking and vivid historical novel of passion, destiny and divided family loyalties. "Captivating... will leave an indelible mark on your heart.
