Lachlan Kennedy removed his coat and settled into his seat. The train west would soon be leaving. He closed his eyes in silent prayer, dwelling on his favorite verse: "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your soul. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." He found the words to be true. The best decision of his life was to slip under the yoke of salvation. His burdens had been many, but God always provided rest. Life had dealt him yet another blow. He had plowed through, weathering the storm, and now he was seeking that promised rest in the home of his longtime friend in the Dakota Territory.

Can the four reside in the same place and find the rest they need?

Maggie Quinn had secluded herself nicely on her grandfather's farm in the middle of the Black Hills. Estranged from a town who didn't care to understand her, she made her own living and was able to sustain a quiet, peaceable life alone. All that was about to change. What possessed the Indian to drop the man at her doorstep? Maggie had no recourse but to lug the bullet-riddled man into her small cabin. It was an easy decision.

Little did she know when she lugged him into her home, she lugged him into her quiet peaceable life. Thad Sheridan had no idea what was going on. The last thing he remembered was being tossed on the back of the Indian's horse. The ride through the prairie at breakneck speed tore at his body, the pain almost too much to bear. When the horse stopped, he hit the hard ground with an excruciating thud. He passed out. When he awoke, he was no longer lying on the hard ground but a soft bed. He closed his eyes.

When the town's moral compass finds a recuperating Thad staying at Maggie's, the problems begin to mount. Maggie, determined to maintain her current independence, is surprised by Thad's solution to the problems. Can Thad help Maggie find the purpose lacking in her life?
