North Dakota, 1905. Trygve Knutson is devoted to his family and his community. With his construction job, he's helping to build a future for the town of Blessing. Yet he sometimes dreams of other horizons -- especially since meeting Miriam Hastings. Miriam is in Blessing for practical training to become an accredited nurse. She's been promised a position in Chicago that will enable her to support her siblings and her ailing mother. Miriam is surprised to find how much she enjoys the small town of Blessing. When a family emergency calls Miriam home sooner than planned, will she find a way to return? If not, will it mean losing Trygve, and her chance at love?
