When railroad surveyor Thad Sutton arrives bearing a long overdue letter, could her life forever change? Charity Langdon lost everything in the Civil War, but when she meets Daniel Morgan, a former POW whose wounds run as deep as hers, can they bring themselves to a level field of forgiveness? Can each woman forgive the past and begin anew on the Indian riverfront?
