1874, Missouri:
It's been a long winter. Every morning Ginny pulls on her father's old leather coat before heading out to tend to the cattle.
Since Ginny and her fourteen—year—old sister Mary—Lou were orphaned she's discovered that Snow Farm is deep in debt, but she's determined to hold onto it – the one thing connecting them to the memory of their beloved parents, and their only means of survival alone against the elements.
But when a handsome injured stranger turns up at their door needing their help and shelter, he awakens feelings Ginny could never have imagined. Now she has something else to strive for: a glimpse of a life she never dared dream was possible.
An utterly spellbinding story which celebrates the determination and courage of women who've learnt to rely on themselves alone. A breath—taking and vivid novel of courage in the hardest times and hope that lights the way in the darkness.
