Sara Connelly becomes obsessed by a dark past, and a sister bent on her destruction when she takes up residence at the Escondido Ranch. Overcome by the loss of friends and loved ones, the inquiry into a murder in her barn and the Ski Company’s efforts to buy her out, Sara loses focus on God’s gifts.

She comes dangerously close to losing herself to the shadows of her beautiful valley – but God, in his grace, surrounds her with a hedge of love.
