A culture clash threatens to derail a growing love on the Wyoming prairie, in this heart-stirring historical romance of the American West.

Joe Walker is just a child himself when he finds an orphaned Chinese baby girl in the wilds of a Wyoming mining town. He brings her home to his family, who reluctantly take her in—but Charity grows up never feeling accepted among either the Asian immigrants or the whites.

In these two worlds divided by prejudice, her only true and unconditional bond is with her protective rescuer, Joe—until Charity is drawn to a devoted young man who offers her something she's never had: a chance to really belong.

As Charity's relationship with Chen Fai deepens, Joe is forced to confront his impermissible feelings for a girl he has come to love. But as the racial tensions in Wyoming Territory ignite, Charity is torn between two men and two cultures, between the forbidden and the safe, between risk and desire. Only by following her heart can Charity find her future, and a place to finally call home.
