When the troupe arrives in the small town of Hope, KS, in 1866, Lily encounters Elijah Book, a preacher caring for an orphaned baby, and agrees to look after the child. Although attracted to the kindly Elijah, Lily distrusts him because of the childhood abuse she suffered at the hands of her preacher father.

Continuing the saga of the Kansas town, Palmer teaches readers that God's wonderful plan for each of us includes peace and healing, even amidst the storms of life.
