Wully McLaughlin comes home from the Civil War to the close-knit settlement of Scottish Presbyterians on the Iowa prairie, where his family has survived fevers, snows and cabin winters. He means to marry Chirstie McNair, but finds her hiding a grievous secret, and the way he answers it tests his family, his faith and the whole community.
