Jenny is a divorced mother of two girls - attractive, poor, charming and resourceful, skilled at making ends meet and hardly even daring to hope the right man will come along for her...
A city girl, Jenny supports herself and her childre by working in a fashionable Manhattan art gallery. It is there that she first becomes aware of the painting of Erich Krueger - brilliantly detailed, lyrical evocations of peaceful country life that touch her deeply - and, above all, of the haunting portrait of a beautiful woman who seems to strangely familiar....
When she meets Krueger, a handsome, powerful and elegant man, Jenny is swept off her feet. After a lightning courtship, Erich marries Jenny and carries her off to his home in Minnesota, a home of wealth, comfort and luxury that Jenny feels like a princess in a fairy story, despite the forbidding, cold and brooding landscape - and the rumors that something terrible once happened in the exquisite Krueger mansion.
