Cody Cutts is a damaged solider. Too young to have fought in the civil war, but still he did. Now his nightmares haunt him and sometimes he gets confused. So when he wrote to a pregnant woman and a plump woman offering them marriage he never intended to trick them. Now he is in trouble so he does the only thing he can think of, he goes to his friend Pastor Jacob.

Faye is pregnant and has a young son. After her husband died she never believed she would find a man to support them. This is her only chance for security for her boy and her unborn child.

Nettie has spent a long time as a carer. Now she is twenty-six and has been eating too much for as long as she can remember. After years of caring for her parents and then her two young sisters she now has nothing. Cody was her one hope of marriage, happiness, and a home.

Can either woman find the marriage they need and perhaps something more. Is there a hope of love?
