"There are many good books in the world of lesbian fiction, and, every once in a while, there are some great ones. This book falls squarely in the latter category...." Rachel Wells - DIVA Magazine

"if you're looking for something that will break your heart and put it back together again, this is it."
"there is a reason behind all the bleakness, and mainly that reason is to tell a good story. And a good story it is, in my opinion."

Laura and her husband William Deene have come a long way, from England to Ohio to Indian Territory. With their farm failing and Laura expecting her fourth child, their relationship begins to disintegrate and with another cruel winter coming on, Will’s mistrustful and violent nature becomes more apparent.
Laura finds relief in the arms of their new neighbour, a young man of wealthy providence setting up as a lone homesteader; James Clappe. Attracted to Clappe’s youth, kindness and naiveté, Laura struggles to maintain her stoic tolerance of the hard prairie life she has endured for so long.
Clappe is not all he seems however. Beneath worn clothes and layers of dirt, is a young socialite fleeing her husband, brought to the prairie by fear and grief. The last thing on earth she expects, is to fall for a lonely prairie wife almost double her age – but it could be the thing that saves her.
