At eighteen years old, the only child of a wealthy Texas cottonrancher

feels that circumstances beyond her control have stymied the dreams she once coveted, and that her life holds no promise for true happiness or love. Caught in a web of depression and grief, she cannot imagine a path forward, and she surrenders to the notion that nothing will ever change.

However, she has no idea of the roads that lay ahead

the paths she will cross, or the secrets unveiled that will alter the pattern of her life and impact the legacy that she will leave in her wake.
