Annabella Orvald dreams of capturing the world through a camera lens, not being trapped in a marriage she never wanted. With determination—and a little help—she escapes, braving the rugged trail to Deadwood, South Dakota, in search of a legendary photographer.

Maxwell McGuire has more questions than answers when Annabella arrives on his doorstep. But after stepping in to protect her more than once, he realizes that her troubles are far from over—and neither are his.

Then there's Gus, a boy who's never known kindness, let alone love. Annabella and Maxwell weren't looking for a family, but sometimes, the best things in life are the ones we never expect.

Three lost souls. One uncertain future. Will they find the family they never knew they needed?
