When Claire Nagy marries Forster Baumsarg, she knows she's consenting to a life of hard work, long days, and worry-fraught nights. Not even the tragic, senseless death of her son Joshua at kidnappers' hands, her alienation from her two daughters, or the dissolution of her once-devoted marriage can pull her from the ranch she loves. But Claire is about to face her greatest struggle: An illness that threatens not only to rip her from her land but take her very life. And she's chosen a caregiver who may just be the darkest force of all.
