A tender love story about two people who are each dealing with the devastating loss of their spouses and grief of their own. Clark is a young father who has lost his wife and has a very young daughter to care for and raise. Marty, who is a young, expectant widow who has just lost her husband in a tragic accident along the wagon train going West, has no money, no one to help her and nowhere to go. This story shows how they come together in a marriage of convenience, each coming to deal with the grief and end up helping each other out. Clark's strong faith eventually helps Marty to deal with her circumstances and realize that she can have a good life with him and have the family she always wanted. It was a very good book and quick to read.
