Step back into time to Colonial America, where an English gentlewoman is sold off to the highest bidder. How far will a frontiersman go to redeem her?

Lily Harwood has always considered herself a good Christian lass but after years of serving the Waldon family and despite the fact that she loves them dearly, her life has grown increasingly difficult and frightening. Daily she watches Susan Waldon's health deteriorate and with John Waldon away with the militia protecting them from attack by the French and Indians, Lily is responsible for the entire farmstead.
