They have chosen to spend the summer at Mr. Kent's private cabin retreat so that Mr. Kent can recuperate from a heart condition and continue to write is novel. Jenny is grateful for the chance to be in this out-of-the-way place, she wants to escape from the painful memories associated with the death of her fiance, Gordon, who was the old son of Mr. Kent's.
But Jenny is destined not to be alone for long. Two young forest rangers, Mike Anders and Dan Cordell, seek out her company.
