About this listen
Harriet Orland is the daughter of a former house slave and the man who owned the plantation where she was born. All she has ever known is a life of slavery until the end of the war brought their freedom. But she quickly sees that their so-called freedom is only half won.
Life in New York after the Civil War is brutal, with only the most demeaning of menial jobs available to them. After losing her mother to sickness, Harriet is left alone to make ends meet on the streets of New York.
Her chance to break away from a life of drudgery is to make a drastic change – flee out west as a mail order bride.
Mountain man Robert Livingston is a man chased by his own demons.
After fighting in the Union Army, he returned to his wife and four children, only to find his nightmare had not ended. Still haunted by memories of the atrocities he had endured in the war, his wife died during childbirth along with their stillborn baby, allowing Robert to convince himself that he has yet more blood on his hands.
Robert and Harriet have a lot to work on their fresh marriage. Robert must find a way to heal himself from past hurts, if he is to be the pillar to hold the new family together. And Harriet must win over her husband’s children and to gain their trust, as well as to overcome deeply ingrained social prejudices.
How will they keep their growing feelings from being swept away by the waters of conflict and animosity?
Or are they just too different to ever find love?
A Christian western historical romance; no cheating, no cliffhangers and a guaranteed happily ever after.
