Bridget McQuarry is a young widow, who has lost her husband, Mitch, during the Civil War. Bridget, her son, Noah, and her sister, Skye, have moved to Primrose Creek to begin their new life. Bridget owns one fourth of the land they now live on. The other portions belong to Skye, and their cousins, Christy and Megan, who are living in England with their mother.

Trace Qualtrough, a friend of the McQuarry family and who was with Mitch McQuarry when Mitch died, comes to Primrose Creek in search of Bridget. Trace has always been attracted to Bridget and he lets Bridget know that his feelings are still alive and he plans to marry her.

Bridget, feeling guilty because Mitch has died and because of the feelings she had for Trace before she married Mitch, tries to deny her feelings for Trace. At first, Bridget refuses to marry Trace, but both realize that the West is not suitable for a woman alone, especially in a town with a lack of women.

Ms. Miller has not only touched on frontier life and its dangers, but she also showed the strength of pioneer women, who had the stamina to be strong and overcome the hardships of frontier life. Bridget McQuarry is one of those women
