Frankly, I didn't think the first book of this series could have been improved upon; I was wrong. These three stories (see below) should be read in order; they are connected in very important ways. This story is a continuation of the Langtry sisters' lives. They all left five years ago and have individually returned to Whispering Pines and their grandmother.

Adelaide Langtry has returned home to Whispering Pines with three children in tow. She plans to be the town's teacher and also start up an orphanage. She hopes to adopt the three siblings together, although Addie is devoted to them. However, adoption is only open to married couples, and Addie is single. The youngest of the three children, Claire, hops out of the stagecoach in Whispering Pines and calls the sheriff (Jack Roper) "Papa." Oddly enough, Jack is not upset by the little charmer attaching herself to him because Jack grew up in an orphanage in the East. He ran away early because of the horrible conditions and he understands the fears of the trio of children.

The outlaw brother from the first book, Frank Langtry, has his own story of a marriage. He convinces his new wife, Charlotte (a judge's daughter), that he's going to get the case of errors against himself cleared, and then they can move on together. Charlotte is wealthy and very attractive. She's young and believes his every word. Frank knows how to pour on the charm when he needs to, although he is still making plans with his outlaw gang.
