If you like to read stories taking place in the 1800s then you will love this one.  The civil war is going on and the folks in Texas are seperated between wanting the North or the South to win.  Hannah Dandridge was helping he father raise her two young siblings as her step-mother had died in childbirth.  Her dad got the word that his grandfather had been killded in the war and he left his family in the hands of their housekeeper and her family to go aid his grandmother, whom was dying.  But he never returned.  The rance they lived on had been given to him because he supported the South and he and his lawyer partener were in business together, but he had no idea what his partener was trying to do. 

When the REAL owner of the ranch returned from the war William Barnett was suprised to find someone else was living in his house.  He stayed on for the time being and helped Hannah and the others run the farm and to try and keep the Indians from attacking.

What will Hannah do when she finds out for sure her father was dead and she was going to have to raise her 3 year old sister and 7 year old brother.  Will she marry her dad's former partner Herbert Lockhart a much older man or will she find another way to survive.
