Katherine has lived a life of lies. She journeys to the new frontier town pretending that she's a schoolteacher...She's articulate and persuasive, easily passing for teacher. Only wanting to get enough money so that she can move on, she doesn't expect to feel such warmth from her students...and from the local rancher named Trey. But he has his own skeletons in the closet as they both start to regain the faith they once had when they were younger...and the desire to find someone with whom they can build a life with.
