When Darcie and Walter Goodwin hear of a new cholera
epidemic sweeping the area, they join the Shakers whose
villages seem immune to the disease. It's meant to be a
temporary stay, but Walter is killed in a riverboat
accident. With no family and no money, Darcie has little
choice but to stay with the Shakers. To complicate matters,
she is expecting a baby conceived before she and her husband
came to the Shaker village. Marital relationships are
considered sinful in this celibate community, putting Darcie
in a unique--and lonely--position. Can the arrival of
widower Flynn Keller and his headstrong daughter offer
Darcie the hope of happiness . . . and family?
Ann H. Gabhart returns to the enigmatic world of the Shakers
in this emotional exploration of the power of love and the
bond of family.
