✦ Synopsis

Estelle Winthrop had it all: a nice home, a loving family, and her childhood sweetheart, Holden.� Then Estelle receives a letter from Holden, telling her he�s leaving her to seek his fortune out west.� Devastated, Estelle swears never to love another man.

Five years later, Estelle sees an advertisement for a mail order bride by a �Reverend Holden Parker�.� Could it be her Holden?� Writing under the name �Elizabeth� to find out, she is swept away as her old love for Holden resurfaces.� Then Holden asks �Elizabeth� to marry him and join him out in Colorado at his first church assignment, and Estelle can�t say no.

When his bride-to-be steps off the train, Holden Parker is none too pleased to discover that she�s really Estelle, who he heartlessly abandoned years before.� She is a reminder of his past, and the dark secrets he has kept all these years.� Despite his rejection, Estelle won�t leave, and he is terrified that his past will catch up with him, and threaten the new life he�s built as a faithful Christian and pastor of his own church.� Now he is forced to face his demons every day�and watch as the bachelors of the town are drawn to Estelle like moths to a flame. �

Will Holden unburden himself, and truly accept the forgiveness of the Lord?� Or will fear and tragedy prevent him from ever telling Estelle the truth?
