There are some wounds that no amount of time or space can heal
- but unconditional love might carry enough strength on its own.
After six years away from home, Amelia Bennett is returning to Billings, Montana.
Since her mother's death, a rift has formed between her and her father, Charles.
Amy has since spent her time in India, working as a Christian missionary, doing her best to move on from the pain and heartache she left behind.
But when a message from her cousin raises concern for her father's health, Amy doesn't hesitate to respond to the love she continually carries for him in her heart.
Amy's return shows her that some things can change in six years,
- including her once childhood torment, Thomas Coleman, who now works at her family ranch.
Amy can't help but notice that Thomas has grown to become a handsome and generous man, confident in himself and his surroundings.
And she is forced to rethink her opinions towards him and her feelings...
But while some things have changed with time, others haven't, such as her father's indifference toward her.
In returning home and unsure of its outcome, Amy sets out to rebuild her relationship with her father and discover if there is still a place for her in Billings, after all.
Yet her visit home wasn't meant to be permanent...
What will she do when it's time to leave Bennett Ranch again?
