When Caroline Milburn steps off the boat and back into her hometown of St. Charles, Missouri, part of her wishes she could step right back on board and sail away. St. Charles, though home to her beloved friends and quilting circle, hasn’t felt like home since the death of her husband. And living with her sister Jewell’s family hasn’t provided much balm for her grieving heart. Caroline knows something needs to change—but for now she’s stuck sharing her sister’s home, and enduring the bitterness of her brother-in-law.

But change is brewing in St. Charles. A group of brave souls are preparing to head west with the Boone’s Lick Wagon Train Company, led by the mysterious Garrett Cowlishaw. Despite her dislike for Mr. Cowlishaw, who served as a Confederate soldier in the war that killed her husband, Caroline is tempted to join the wagon train and start fresh somewhere new.
