Camille Dupree is a cardsharp. She's known at poker tables as the Angel, but she leaves her card-playing days behind her when she moves to Willow Grove, Texas, and meets Tyler McKinnon, the town's mayor. She soon finds a decent job that doesn't involve setting foot inside a saloon and joins the local church. The overall theme of the book is forgiveness: we know God can forgive Camille's sinful past, but can Tyler? Can the town accept her with her flaws? It's funny reading how scandalized the town became after it's revealed that Camille lived with her boyfriend without benefit of marriage (back then, it was considered living in sin), compared to today when marriage is seen as nothing more than a piece of paper.
