A warmhearted frontier romance centered on a schoolteacher and railroad executive, steeped in 19th-century Americana, Christian values, and the comfort of a Hallmark love story.

In the 1800s frontier, Missie Davis is a bright and beautiful schoolteacher whose love for the prairie is matched only by her passion for books. When Missie encounters Grant, a handsome New England railroad executive, she feels as though she's met a hero from one of her novels.
