When a friend suggests she consider becoming a mail order bride, she decides to take control of her life. After corresponding with a prairie preacher who has decided to take over as pastor of a small church, she sets off on a journey westward to make a new life for herself and her son with Pastor Emmett Pafford. Perhaps God has provided a way for her after all.
But when she arrives, she finds a man who doesn't seem to fit her expectations of what a pastor should be. When he insists that they leave town immediately after they are married, Evelyn begins to doubt her decision, and to suspect Emmett might be keeping something from her.
