Description: Emma Wright knows the loneliness of being an orphan. Maybe that's why her Maryland home seems to attract children left parentless by accident or by the recent Civil War. It is hard to care and provide for them on a nurse's salary, and finding Christian homes for them requires more wisdom than Emma possesses on her own.

Strong and independent as she seems, Emma dreams of the day a strong Christian husband can share the burden, and she thinks her prayers might be answered when she meets the handsome carpenter Nate O'Neil.

But, though the war is over, Nate is still fighting a battle inside himself. How can he offer himself to a fine woman like Emma when he still bears the guilt of past deeds?

While Emma and Nate wrestle with their problems, the seven children in Emma's care decide to take matters into their own hands.
