Sometimes a wanderin' man finds something he didn't know he was lookin' for...
When Enos Larimore returns to the place he's long dreamed of homesteading, he finds someone already living there. Someone who's scared to death of him.
Sula Mae Smith is alone. Her pa never returned from a trip to a distant fort. Her ma died last winter. Coyotes got the chickens, a panther killed her pig, and the cow's milk is drying up. Trouble is, it's a long, lonely way to the nearest outpost.
Trust doesn't come easy on the frontier, even when a body knows there's safety in numbers. So what Enos and Sula decide won't just make a difference today. It will change the rest of their lives.
