Book Synopsis

On the rugged Oregon coast in the early 1900s, a group of women's lives intertwine through their shared pioneering spirit and the steadfast presence of Mary Gerritse. Struggling with her daughter Belle's desire to live with her grandparents, Mary discovers her own mother facing illness and her father hiring a caretaker with a troubled past. Despite tensions, Mary leaves Belle with her grandparents, feeling guilt and resentment. When past secrets bubble over into troubles in the present, Mary's identity is shaken.

As Mary seeks to heal her family--and herself--her friends provide comfort even as they face challenges of their own: Jewell explores questions about her own identity, Henrietta navigates managing a homestead, Virginia seeks refuge from an abusive situation, and Olivia faces the heartache of lost love. The women must endure to find encouragement in each other and refuge in the faith that brings strength amid great uncertainty.

Beloved for her immersive depictions of the American West in the early twentieth century, Kirkpatrick vividly portrays the courage and triumphs of women overcoming the odds and banding together to make a difference.
