Before leaving for America, nine-year-old Toya Reinhart promised her best friend, Betina, they would always be friends, no matter what...
Years later, they are together again - as settlers in the rugged land of New Genesis, Texas. Now their friendship has new trials to face. Toya's job as caretaker for Ash Wagner brings her close to his handsome grandson, Conrad, and forces Toya to fight the new passions in her heart. For Toya's wedding has already been arranged to a man named Peter Stoltz. And Betina is secretly in love with Peter.
'Lovingly rendered... tenderly drawn.'
