An orphaned pioneer girl, an accidental outlaw with a conscience, and a former Civil War U.S. Army captain influenced by the poetry of Walt Whitman help each other erase the wounds of the past and search for what they most desperately need. This inspirational novel with romantic elements belongs on the bookshelf next to books by Susanna Kearsley, Susan Wiggs, Anita Stansfield, and Julianne Donaldson.
