A faith-centered period romance about trauma, redemption, and self-worth, where a woman scarred by abuse learns to accept love and choose her own future.

A young couple's relationship clashes with the harsh realities of the California Gold Rush of 1850. Angel, experiencing love for the first time and facing demons unsurmountable, runs from the new life she doesn't believe she deserves. When Michael sets out to find her, Angel discovers that she indeed has the power to choose the life she wants.
