In the mid-1860s, Kirk Petersen’s family settles on a homestead in North Dakota. After tragedies, he moves to Fargo, where he meets Alice, a beautiful woman running from her past. Wise beyond his years, Wilmer Petersen has reason to distrust her. Morris Nesslebaum is in Fargo looking for work and land. He befriends Alice and Wilmer and falls in love with Myrtle, whose father disowns her. Hazel, a homely teacher with little chance at love finds it in Fargo but is forced to choose between love and a predicament not her doing. The Porters are welcomed into the homesteading community despite their background as former slaves. In Fargo and on the homesteads, these lives have been difficult because of outside influences and personal and natural disasters, so they want to form their own town. They are the “Seeds of Graceton”.

In this second book of the Graceton series, the homesteaders’ dream of their own village continues. It could be dashed by a tragic accident, but Myrtle Nesslebaum does her best to keep her vision alive. The Petersen family still feels the lack of what the other homesteaders have: happy homes despite all other circumstances being similar. But there may be love for them in the future among their own. A murder mystery is solved, but it leads to other questions about one family’s future. Some Fargo townspeople believe that helping the homesteaders through their loss shows the potential importance of the territory for the rest of the country. A local editorial has reached the east, and a well-to-do person there also wants to help, but there might be strings attached.
