After the death of his wife at the hands of Indians, Scott Kittson becomes a shell of the man he once was. In a desperate attempt to save her father from overwhelming grief,
his eldest daughter Katie decides to place an advert for a Mail Order Bride. Adelia Waterhouse has just lost her mother and will soon be tossed out on the street.
Being half Indian, she is often mistreated or maligned. Her only hope of escape is to become a Mail Order Bride. Despite his outburst at his daughter's meddling,
Scott allows Adelia to stay on as his housekeeper and the caregiver for his young twins. With time, a connection between the two-a grieving single father and a woman who has nothing to her name-begins to form.
But when Scott discovers Adelia's heritage, everything unravels. Adelia fears Scott will never overlook her ancestry. Will she end up on the streets back in New York, after all?
