Stop and spend a while in North Texas in 1886. Join sixteen year old Hayley Anderson and her family in the city of Dallas. The city began as an upstart town for farm families, merchants, and former slaves, on the edge of the great frontier. It became a city of promise. On an important day in her life, Hayley is given Mother's precious golden necklace. As she overcomes obstacles and pursues her dreams, her fingers clutch the necklace and her actions seek to follow the genuine gift of Mother's heart.
