Leaving south Texas to fulfill a dream in Montana, Anna Hardeman thought it would be a breeze. She never dreamed she would lose her best friend on this journey, nor did she ever dream she would now be responsible for her best friend's newborn. But here she was, living the life of a young mother of a daughter who was not her's and the baby's father is possibly in Viet Nam. She knew she had to pull herself up by her bootstraps and look down the lonely road ahead of her to build that ranch in Montana alone.
