However, shortly after moving, Aaron is killed in a riding accident leaving Marty all alone. Pregnant with Aaron's child, she has nowhere to go and is in need of a place to stay for the winter. A widower named Clark offers to let her stay with him and even offers her money to return to the East once the winter is over. However, she must marry Clark in order for him to give these things to her. Desperate for a place to stay, Marty accepts. Clark also wants her to provide a maternal influence for his daughter, Missie. Since the marriage is strictly a business deal, the two keep separate quarters from each other. In the beginning, things do not quite go as planned, and Missie resents Clark for trying to bring out her femininity. As the winter goes on, Marty learns much about the God that Clark believes in and begins to develop a good relationship with Missie. The three of them begin to feel like a family, though none of them intended to become so close to each other. Marty and Clark suddenly realize that they have done the impossible and fallen for each other. Missie has a new mother in Marty and her baby has a new father in Clark.

This stranger has a troubled past, but seems to be a decent fellow. Missie begins to get to know him and wonders if perhaps she could find love with him.
