Rosa Baldry was growing tired of her life of poverty and monotony. She wondered if a better way of life was possible, where she could realize the dreams that she once had before she got married to Burton. Rosa loved the rolling hills of Cartburns Virginia but dreamed of adventures beyond. Her husband Burton seemed to be disinterested in their marriage, especially since they have been trying to have children for such a long time. The couple grew further apart day by day but Rosa kept faith in God and prayed daily.


Virgil Hennessy, a wealthy railroad businessman from Navada was looking for a wife who would fill in the missing piece in his life. Virgil is a young man who offered the promise of a good life filled with excitement, wealth and adventure. Virgil desired someone who would make a good wife to himself and their future family. Virgil was not the type of person to judge people based on their past circumstances since he knew what it was like to overcome difficult situations.


After unexpected circumstances in their marriage, Rosa had to consider divorce which is a difficult decision for staunch Christian such as herself. Her world was turned upside down until Virgil came into her life. Virgil is everything that Rosa desired but they could not live in peace since they were constantly haunted by her past. Can they overcome the obstacles or will their love end in tragedy?
