Sweet romance blossoms between people from two very different worlds. Will the bonds of love be stronger than the bonds of tradition? Eager to make her own way in the world, Lacy Williams leaves behind her family on the Umatilla Reservation and accepts a job in town at the telephone office as an operator. The work she takes in stride, but dealing with the unfamiliar, unsettling feelings stirred by the handsome banker across the street is an entirely different matter. Grant Hill wants a wife. However, not just any wife will do. If that were the case, he'd make an announcement at the mercantile and cause a stampede to the church. Grant wants a woman who will look beyond his material wealth and see into his heart. When he's all but given up on the possibility that such a woman exists, he runs into the lovely Lacy Williams. The two of them must strive to discover if the bonds of love are stronger than the bonds of tradition in this sweet historical western romance.
