West Texas, 1884
Camille Dupree, genteel Southern lady and professional gambler, longs for a different kind of life. But she doesn't believe it's possible to start over...
Until she arrives in Willow Grove, and Mayor Ty McKinnon convinces her otherwise. In the burgeoning West, a good heart is a valued commodity. Camille develops a reciprocal appreciation for her neighbors, especially Ty, who sees more beauty and virtue in her than she's ever seen in herself. With his help, she becomes a respectable businesswoman. And begins to learn about the love of God and Jesus.
A widower, no one else has stirred Ty's interest until Camille...
Torn between his love for his first wife and loneliness, Ty steps out in faith to become Camille's friend and to see where their relationship leads. But when ill-wishers threaten to destroy her hard-won acceptance, Camille finds herself in need of the townspeople's forgiveness...and Ty's. Will Ty extend the pardon that will bless them both?
