Life in Perkinsville, Texas, holds great promise for Deborah Vandermark. Content in the embrace of her family, she pursues her medical studies under the tutelage of Dr. Christopher Clayton and delights in the growing affection between them. Yet when tragedy casts a shadow over life in this logging town, Deborah is unprepared for the difficulties that follow. When a letter from his family sets Christopher in a tailspin, Deborah's carefully laid plans falter.

And the arrival of Jake Wythe only adds to her growing uncertainty. As she struggles against the forces of the past and the Texas land itself, will Deborah be forced to turn her back on the love taking root in her heart? The East Texas lumber boom provides work and danger, while the Christian narrative joins medical service, family loyalty and a direct challenge to prejudice.
