Cottonwood, Iowa 1875 Lydia Walcott is on the run. With a broken
arm and a wounded spirit she is escaping the hands of her cruel
brother and the marriage he has arranged. She's running to the
unknown, praying that God will lead her steps. Seeking shelter from
an ice storm in a livery stall, Lydia goes to sleep hoping that in
this small town of Cottonwood she'll find a job, a place to live
and friends. Dr. Sterling Graham, having just delivered a baby,
rides back to town over the ice covered roads. He's confident and
secure in the knowledge that he is loved and respected by the
people of the Cottonwood. Exhausted from the long night, he decides
to sleep on the cot in the livery. Sterling's reputation and
career, along with Lydia's hope for a new life, are put in jeopardy
when gossips spread the news that, "Doc spent the night in the
stable with a woman." The story grows as 'facts' are added. Without
money to travel on west, Lydia feels trapped by her sense of
responsibility for the doctor's good name. Even with his practice
at risk, Sterling's compassion for the young woman whose physical
wounds he treated stirs his heart. Something needs to be decided
that will repair the damage to Sterling's career and give Lydia the
home and safety she needs. The unwelcome solution is that they
marry. How do they learn about each other and mesh two lives into a
successful marriage which honors God, while coping with issues of
trust, pride, epidemic and injury, and the fear that Lydia's
brother will find her?
