Caroline defies her mother and follows her heart to marry Mormon frontiersman, Mosiah Behunin. "You'll be raising your children in some lonesome valley where white folk never go." Ma predicts sourly. But Caroline shrugs off her mother's bitter words-sure that the ruggedly handsome man who has stolen her heart wants the same things she does. But when Brigham Young learns that Mosiah-who settled Zion Canyon with his parents-is friendly with the Indian people and speaks their language the young family is called to live among the Indians and defray the uprisings that frequently threaten the budding settlements of Southern Utah. Although terrified, caroline soon finds herself raising her children in an Indian wikiup. The years that follow will be fraught with almost insurmountable challenges. Mosiah's life is constantly at risk, as Caroline's and sometimes her children's. Can she find purpose and joy as she steps forward with her face to the wind?
