When his self-indulgence causes the tragic deaths of both his mother and wife, Jude Weinlander sets to drifting about the plains of North Dakota, a pitiful loner in search of peace and forgiveness.
Jude's routine of a day job for a meal is interrupted when he meets Rebekka Stenesrude, the schoolmarm of tiny Willowford, North Dakota. As they rebuild the fire-ravaged local school, Jude and Rebekka cannot deny their attraction, but to act on it is another matter.
Will Jude at last plant roots in the prairie soil...or move on before another Dakota dusk?
