Heading west for the luxury of the big city, she vows to find someone who can keep her safe and financially secure.

But her reckless search for a suitor only leads to heartbreak and scandal. So when she meets a soft-spoken WWII vet with more to offer than money, she knows she'll need a whole new set of charms to make it to the altar.

Can Bernice free herself from the past and finally discover a place she belongs?
