The farther the better for Charity Endicott, darling of Long Island's 1920s society.

Now only "Gramps" and "Cricket" are left of their family. Using their middle names, the intrepid pair become Charles and Cricket Lee. Just when the eastern girl begins to be worthy of a true westerner's love, a specter from the past arrives at Tillicum Ranch and exposes the Endicotts' identity. It takes a life-threatening blizzard to show that no one but God can bring happiness to a girl called Cricket and her beloved Gramps.
