But when the bones of an infant are unearthed on her family's ranch, Marik fears she's learned her daughter's fate.
Burt and Lena Gurdman own the property that neighbors Killdeer Ridge Ranch. Lena is poor and uneducated, with a husband who's quick to blame her for any perceived wrong, but she knows she and Marik have more in common than the property line between them. She, too, has a secret...but to reveal the truth, she must find the courage to explore a past she buried long ago.
