What is an independent woman to do in a world where marrying means losing everything? Pregnant, widowed and rejected by her family, Helena moves to Redway Acres, where she raises her daughter and trains horses. She befriends an old widower in a ramshackle cottage, the family from the grand estate of Eastease, and their friend Colonel Nathaniel Ackley, second son of the Earl of Aysthill. As Redway Acres becomes the focus of her ambition, Helena finds herself thrust into a man's world where her opinions count for little. She loves working with horses and raising her daughter and will stand up for those in need, but the law doesn't allow for love. Will Helena give up everything, including herself, should she find a man worthy enough? Her story is about hardship, horses, strength of will, love and loyalty.
