Kathryn and Larson have had a so so marriage of 10 years. Larson has trust issues because of his upbringing which his wife knows nothing about. Kathryn came from a privileged background and was first drawn to Larson for his looks. She married against her father's wishes, and after they move to the Colorado territory, she hears nothing from her father after her mother dies.
Larson leaves on Christmas Eve to check northern pastures when a snow storm blows in. While the ranch hands are driving the cattle to market, all the cattle are killed leaving no money for Kathryn to live on. When the weeks turn into months and Larson still has not returned, Kathryn has to make some business decisions and finds out the truth about their financial situation. She also discovers she's expecting and has to move into town.
Meanwhile, Larson has had his own troubles and trials, nearly losing his life in a fire. The kindness of the couple who take him in and tend his wounds leads him to reading the Bible and seeing how he needs to change his ways. When he finally returns he sees his wife at a grave grieving. Everyone but Kathryn believes he is dead, and even though a body is found and assumed to be his, in her heart she doesn't believe it. Larson decides not to reveal himself since no one recognizes him with the scars from the fire.
This was an amazing book, different from other Christian romance that I've read. Though this is book 1 in the series, it had a satisfactory ending, and I hope book 2 lets us see a little more of this couple.
