Parker Bennett returns to Kalispell after a decade on the road with a travelling theatre company, which is preparing a production of Uncle Tom’s Cabin at the town opera house. Home brings him face to face with Johanna St John, the woman he once loved and whose life has changed through marriage, widowhood, motherhood and responsibility for her injured father.

Their renewed relationship develops while unexplained incidents disturb the town and complicate Parker’s hopes of staying. Johanna must balance her millinery business and family obligations against the possibility of a different future, while Parker has to decide whether a life built around travel can be reconciled with permanent ties. The novel places their choices within the changing civic world of early twentieth-century Kalispell.
