Millie Morelle married her cowboy, Zeke, expecting only happiness ever after. She was young and beautiful, he was strong and hard-working. How could their future be anything but wonderful? Each had dreams to last a lifetime . . . but after fifteen years of heartbreaking disappointments, their goals seem to lie in opposite directions. They may share a home and a passel of kids, but they're living separate lives, and no one is happy. Why did they ever fall in love in the first place? Reaching a point of desperation, each makes choices for survival-choices that may destroy the very things they're trying to save. Will they be able to salvage, separately, something that can only be built together-a love that is stronger than mountains?
