The fire took everything she thought was certain. The prairie was not finished with her yet.
Kansas, 1891. When a lightning-struck grass fire takes her husband and half her herd, Sarah Townsend is left with five young children, twenty-six horses, and a farm she cannot run alone. Then a quiet horseman named Jacob Miller rides up her long dirt track and offers steady help, and slowly, the kind of tenderness Sarah is not ready to feel again.
But the town is watching. The gossip is sharp. The horse thieves come in the dark. And Sarah must decide whether the love she lost is reason enough to turn away the love being offered now.
A tender, sweeping novel of grief, grit, and second chances on the wide Kansas plains.
