The strength to build a dream

Delphinium Nielsen and her sisters have accomplished much in the past year, traveling west and settling in Nebraska. However, they are quickly running out of money. Del's work teaching in their booming town offers hope, not only to support her sisters financially, but also to better her students' lives. Not all of the town sees it that way, though, with the rebuilding of the schoolhouse continually neglected.

When their brother Anders arrives with his war-wounded friend RJ, he sees the strength of his sisters' idea to start a boardinghouse and decides to invest in it. Del finds RJ barely polite and wants nothing to do with him. But despite Del and her sisters' best-laid plans, the future—and RJ—might surprise them all.
