Shepherds abiding in Dry Creek: When a theft brings Deputy Wilkerson into her life, Marla Gossett finally feels safe, until a crisis threatens her fragile trust
Elizabetha O‘Brianová se ocitla v tragické situaci - cestou za novým domovem jí na horečnaté onemocnění zemřel manžel i malá dceruška. Na smrt se připravuje i ona, ale namísto toho ji o ruku požádá Jack Hargrove, který dostal od bratra na starost dvě dcery, napůl Indiánky. Když si Elizabetha uvědomí, že skutečně nezemře, a v novém, rodícím se městě nikoho jiného nezná, souhlasí se sňatkem, ovšem s podmínkou, že manžela opustí hned poté, až ji malé miminko už nebude potřebovat.
