Mary Elizabeth Potter, spinster and schoolteacher, packs up her sensible self and moves to Wyoming. She finds herself intrigued by the son of Wolf MacKenzie, convinced that the boy needs to remain in school. Wolf, an ex-con and half-breed, needs the boy at home, working.

In addition to Howard's writing, readers are attracted to the passion exhibited in the story. Howard also explores human prejudices and how we overcome them.

Some readers find the heroine to be lacking in intelligence, even allowing for the trend toward weaker heroines in the 1980s. She is written in the innocent mold that works better for Regency heroines who are sheltered from the realities of life.
