Orphaned as a young girl, Rebecca Wolstone was left with only a trunk that held her mother's wedding dress and a small black book. Her mother's final words never left her: "Take care, guard the trunk. There's in it your only hope." Becky believed that her hope lay in wearing that dress one day to marry a man who would love and cherish her. And she hoped that man would be Joshua Smyth, son of the people who had cared for her.
