Her eyes flickered quickly under her eyelids. Raven woke up feeling guilty and confused; then, she pulled the blanket aside, and went out. What a disgusting dream. A mouse had crawled out from between her legs. Up in the sky, a big oak tree was dropping the last of its leaves. A single crimson leaf let go, falling through the lattice of branches, ending its life, and resting on the damp ground like a splash of blood. She watched it fall, then looked at the horizon of fuzzy bare trees. That made her twenty summers old. She fought hard to stay alive all these years and there was nothing to show for it. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Only one of them was unaccounted for, and more importantly, useful. She wasn't going to go to him. Having nobody was better.

Lachlan Kennedy removed his coat and settled into his seat. The train west would soon be leaving. He closed his eyes in silent prayer, dwelling on his favorite verse: "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your soul. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." He found the words to be true. The best decision of his life was to slip under the yoke of salvation. His burdens had been many, but God always provided rest. Life had dealt him yet another blow. He had plowed through, weathering the storm, and now he was seeking that promised rest in the home of his longtime friend in the Dakota Territory. Sitting just five seats away was Lachlan's next battle. The three unsuspecting Westgate girls were headed to the same place. They too were seeking rest and a new beginning. Jamie Westgate was finally able to break away from a past dominated by men. The teaching job out west was her ticket to freedom, and she was dragging her late husband's cousin Cathleen and her daughter Amelia with her. When a sudden confrontation on the train takes Lachlan by surprise, his response leaves the trio in a whirlwind of emotion. One detested him, one admired him, and one loved him with all her heart. Can the four reside in the same place and find the rest they need?
