Great summer read or a long winter day read...Duncan Malone comes home after prison to find that there is not any forgivness in his town and also no job for him..except for one woman who needs someone to help out on her farm..she is expecting..no father in sight and no man to help..only the farm in need of help was Duncan's before prison..lots of plot twists and very interesting.
