Publisher's Summary

From the author of Follow the Dove and The Broken Horizon

For Isa and Davie Reid, life has led them and their children away from their beloved Scotland to an equally difficult life in the weather-scarred, dusty, Canadian prairies of the early 1900s. Eking out an existence where the land will not produce, surviving when all else seems to challenge mere survival, Isa weathers the elements and shoulders the responsibilities, managing to maintain a homestead that her parents had started, but that left them almost destitute and destroyed their health, with very little help from the homesick Davie.

With the onset of WW1, Davie volunteers to fight.

Isa soldiers on until there is nothing left on the homestead to sustain her. Where will her path lead her next?

Her friend and neighbour, Sarah, escaped an unwanted pregnancy to marry a man twice her age, only to discover another relationship she did not expect. She runs away from the arranged marriage to nurse the wounded during World War I, only to return to the man she was forced to marry years earlier to forge a different relationship. Where will Sarah's path lead her next?
