Leah Cooper wants only to be a good frontier wife; a perfect helpmate to the man she's loved for so long. But her privileged upbringing and overbearing parents have done little to prepare her for the hard work of everyday life on the claim. Discovering that she and Jacob are about to have a child of their own, Leah prays for the strength she desperately desires.

Yet just as life seems to improve, a devastating tragedy on one winter's night sends Leah spiraling into darkness and Jacob searching for answers. When the storm passes, will Leah's heart survive the truth? And will Jacob lay down his pride to reconcile with his Savior...and his wife, before it's too late?
