In the Days of the Great Depression Neva Shilling runs the Shilling Mercantile and takes care of twins while her husband Warren travels for months at a time to neighbouring communities to sell items from his wagon.

She is in complete shock when a deputy arrives one evening with three of her now dead husband's children. It was more than selling he was doing on all these trip, he had a secret family.

So angry at Warren, she wants to forget he ever existed, but how could she let these children go to an orphanage? How can she learn to love them the way that God does when all she see's when she looks at them is her husband's betrayal.
