More about the book
Grace Williams, a young English missionary, arrives in Colville, Vancouver, in 1857 to find the community neither wants nor seems to need her. When her superior, Reverend Palmer, disappears into the snowy woods, on a foolhardy mission to seek converts amongst the Salish First Nations people, Grace is left behind to oversee their mission. There are no half- measures in this place where they do things differently, and she is forced to find self-confidence and rise to the challenge. Grace is grateful to Sam Gray, a widower, and Long Ben Sloane, the sawmill manager, who befriend and aid her in her mission to improve people's lives and find acceptance. In this wild outpost, the two men become an invaluable support, but only one will win her heart...
