Publisher's Synopsis
In this sweeping, romantic tale, a beautiful farm girl in 1920's North Carolina discovers the power of true love. Enter the world of Cadie Hamilton, where the beauty of the South and its grand antebellum houses tempts her to believe her love for Boy, a wealthy plantation owner, is the answer to life's problems. But all is not as it seems, and Boy soon disappears without a word, leaving Cadie heartbroken. As the grief overtakes her, she finds solace in the arms of an old beau, reluctantly succumbing to a life of tragedy and despair as Mrs. Norman McLain. Cadie's only hope is a newfound faith in God that enables her to eventually love her husband in spite of his imperfections. But will that faith endure when Boy returns home to reclaim what was stolen from them years ago?
