What is a young, unmarried, and inexperienced woman to do after the Civil War strips her of everything that she holds dear? If you're Tricia Morgan, you depend upon God and His divine guidance to lead you into the right direction. Raised on a farm in coastal North Carolina, Tricia learns the value of hard work and the joy of unbiased and true friendship. One influential man whom God chooses to place in Tricia's life is Tobias, a former slave and the closest friend of her Grandpa Wagner. Although Tricia's faith sometimes wavers, she never lets go of the life lessons learned on that farm. Especially dear to her heart are the words of Tobias.
