In 1876, western men sweep mail-order brides off their feet as soon as they arrive in town but not Isabel Grant. Captain Pichon rejects her for being "a skinny schoolgirl", and she is alone in Redwood, Minnesota to wait three days for the next train. Sergeant John Webster delivers the news to her and feels the need to protect this porcelain doll. Isabel finds out that she does not have the legal right to be independent. She is alone, not chaperoned and not married. Will she go back to a life of loneliness and poverty? Will she be forced to marry? Will she be allowed to stay in Redwood?
