The train taking nineteen-year-old teacher Christy Huddleston from her home in Asheville, North Carolina, might as well be transporting her to another world. The Smoky Mountain community of Cutter Gap feels suspended in time, trapped by poverty, superstitions, and century-old traditions. But as Christy struggles to find acceptance in her new home, some see her — and her one-room school — as a threat to their way of life. Her faith is challenged and her heart is torn between two strong men with conflicting views about how to care for the families of the Cove. Yearning to make a difference, will Christy’s determination and devotion be enough?

Millie has spent half of her life running from her perilous past, particularly from someone who wants nothing more than to destroy her life. She's dedicated her entire adult years to hiding in solitude, fearful of what will happen if she exposes herself even the slightest bit to the outside world. She likes to stay on the move, difficult to track and nearly impossible to find. Her latest move lands her in a dilapidated cabin high up in the forested mountains, secluded and isolated from the rest of the world --just the way she likes it. While Millie does her best to stay undetected in her new surroundings, she regrettably uncovers a horrendous crime that throws her into a whirlwind of circumstances that threaten to obliterate everything she's ever worked for-- keeping her identity unknown. In a twist of events, Millie's past comes back to haunt her worse than she ever imagined it could. Suddenly, she finds herself fighting for her life, while desperately trying to prove she's innocent of the crime she's now being accused of, something she's unfortunately fought to do before.
