Everything taken from her, Glynda heads north, to a new world and a new life, taking a chance that fate might be kinder to her this time around. As she settles in to her job on one of the many farms just outside of a small southern town called Ruthorford, she discovers that southern charm does extend as far north as Georgia, as do good-looking men. Befriended by Tom, a farm hand she met when he rescued her from the hooves of an angry stallion, Glynda begins to believe that her shattered heart might have a chance to heal after all and her life become what she'd always longed for - normal. But, her past is coming back to haunt her and, from the looks of things, it just might get her killed. Luckily, she finds that she's landed in the one place that takes care of its own and she has become one of them, whether she wants to be or not. Rutherford and its descendant have taken her into their fold, and life promises to be anything but normal.
