The Civil War has destroyed everything Valerie
Carter held dear. Struggling to come to terms
with her emotional devastation, she accepts a teaching
position in Freeland, Maryland, and her heart is
gradually warmed by her students' affection. She also
finds herself attracted to Paul Collins, a young widower
with three children who has a childlike faith in Jesus
Christ. Will Paul be God's instrument to free Valerie
from the bonds of bitterness?
