Her world collapses when Molly Shephard loses her greatest love in a freak mining accident. The next few months test her grit and will to survive as she fights tooth and nail just to provide food and shelter for her family. All while nursing a shattered heart and broken spirit.

Countless women lost their husbands that day, and while many have found other, less palatable ways to survive, Molly can’t possibly consider marrying again so soon just to make ends meet. She eventually lands work in a last-ditch attempt to keep her home and make sure food is on the table.

It isn’t long before her work is noticed, and she’s hired to work in a wealthy family’s manor. As the pain lessens over the years, her kids grow up, and they, too, eventually find work at the manor.

But one of them finds trouble there as well.

Bradley Foundley, a distant relative of the Lord of the Manor, has a sordid and nasty history, and the women are cautious and on high alert while he stays for the summer. But soon he sets his sights on Molly’s oldest daughter, May.

Now, not only could May become compromised, there’s danger they could lose everything and be on the streets for good. Desperate, Molly seeks counsel from someone who has a few surprises of his own, and things may never be the same for either of them.

Can Molly find love again? Can the family find the security they need? Or will their name be tarnished forever?
