Book excerpt: In the early hours of an icy Montana morning, the recently widowed Rose Gray wraps her baby up tight in a blanket, and escapes from the home that now belongs to her greedy and powerful in-laws. She travels to Come-By-Chance to meet young fur-trapper Henry Miller, who has agreed to marry her if she will come - but Henry knows nothing of Rose's baby, or even her seven-year marriage. Can Rose expect such a young man to accept not just herself, but her baby daughter Minnie as well? Might Rose and Henry find love amidst all the troubles that threaten to tear them apart? And what is Rose's secret - a secret so terrible she can see no other future than to live with the shame of it, each and every day for the rest of her life? It's time to catch up with the Come-By-Chance townsfolk: the strapping Wilkinson brothers Ben, Matt and Toby; recently wed Ruby, Emily and Violet; the Beans, the Hearts, the Milligans, the Carmichaels and of course, the feisty Kate and incorrigible Wally Davis.
