As Jamsie abandons New York for the railroad and the lure of gold, as Katy's childhood sweetheart Peader struggles with his marriage and his conscience in aristocratic Virginia, as Bridget grows into a lovely young woman with a dangerous suitor, Katy's capacity for hard work and her gift for friendship sustain her in the fight to keep her family from starvation and the other perils of the teeming, corrupt city. And then Dr David Purcell enters her life, offering security, hope for her children's future - and maybe more....
