Rosalie Sanders is almost 18 and dreams of having her own family someday. While ready to find a husband, there are no prospects in her hometown. She loves to read and by chance, comes upon an ad in the local paper from a rancher in Wyoming. She doesn't mean to get caught up in the whole 'mail order bride' business, but she is intrigued enough to send him a letter. To her delight, he responds with one of his own, and the two strike up a friendship and then a relationship. Daniel Ward is a rancher who was disfigured by a horrific fire when he was a child. He never dreams he'll find someone who'll accept him because of the way he looks, so when he begins corresponding with a young woman, he's thrilled. When the two finally decide to meet, both are met with fears for the future. He worries that she will discover how ugly he is, and turn away from him. The test for Rosalie though, will be if she can look past the scars and let her heart lead the way.
