Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Seventeen-year-old Marilla Eckert is in love with Langdon Prescott, her family’s hired hand, and is determined to win him. Yet she remains blissfully unaware of the secret passion he feels for her older sister Delia. When Delia weds another, Lang finally turns to Marilla. Leaving his heart out of it, he sweeps her off her feet, and Marilla’s dreams of marrying him come true. Too late, she realizes where his devotion truly lies, but she presses on, convinced she can still gain his love.

Then America steps into the Great War. The men are sent a world away to fight, and Marilla's cares, coupled with the lack of her husband’s favor, finally wear her thin. When heartache and disaster strike on every front, and Marilla’s hour of need leads her searching for comfort, will all of them wind up too broken to ever find their hearts' true homes?
