SummaryIn the summer of 1890, U.S Marshal Hodge Egan is forced to
leave the comfort of Chicago to trail a killer into the
Wisconsin wilderness. He vows that when he brings this man
to justice, he will resign from the law and enjoy the good
life in the gentlemen's clubs of San Francisco, a dream he
has nurtured for many years.
Molly O'Brien runs a dairy farm in rural Wisconsin. To the
citizens of Delight, Wisconsin, she is disdained for
avoiding marriage while raising four little girls, two of
whom aren't even kin. On top of that, she offers shelter to
a reclusive former slave who lives in the nearby forest.
Though she is admired for her strength and courage, her
unconventional lifestyle makes her an odd little misfit.
When Molly discovers two men lying in her field, near death,
she takes them home, only to learn from their belongings
strewn about the field that one of them is a dangerous
outlaw, and one a man of the law. But which is which? Both
claim to be the marshal, while neither will admit to being
the outlaw. Until she can get them healthy enough to return
them to town and hand them over to the law, she must protect
herself and her daughters while tending both men and her farm.
Throw into this dangerous mix a sly, vicious killer, a woman
with a tender heart, a girl on the threshold of becoming a
woman, a child afraid of her own shadow, and one who has the
gift of vision, and you have a wild and wonderful adventure,
as well as a surprising love story.
