Marie and Marguerite Bellamont are as different as any twin sisters could possibly be. But when their father dies and their mother's land manager cheats them out of their home and heritage in France, they must use their differences to stay together and stay alive. With only a few dollars to their name, the Bellamont family travels west in search of new opportunity and land they can call their own. But in only a short time, they realize America is not the land of dreams and hopes they'd imagined. After six years, Marie and Marguerite are destitute and working in a textile factory in Missouri to keep from starving and freezing to death. But one day, Marie meets a quiet and lonely trader named Douglas Mitchell and wonders if he could be the means of their salvation. Will Marie sacrifice her life's happiness to save her family—and herself—from poverty?
