After the death of her neglectful husband, Zari Abide made the first major decision of her life. With determination, a map, and a homestead deed, she boarded a train for the Idaho Territory. With her sheep wagon home set up and her flock in the field, came the test of her true strength. Her trials ranged from rocky land which she could not plow to wolves and bears attacking the sheep, not to mention the effect her new neighbor had on her body and soul. Two Shirts turned out to be a man of impeccable character. His kindness and humor served as a salve to her wounded spirit. Sadly, Zari's tattered mind kept her tortured with memories of an abusive father and a loveless marriage. Will she accept the idea that not all men come with violence and neglect, or will her tortured past destroy her future?
