After her fiancé returns from the Klondike gold rush in 1897, Florence
Harms sets about building a new life in her new marriage - even though
the lingering effects of illness have left her weak and vulnerable. She
and her young husband, Will, work tirelessly to clear the land around
their Northwest cabin, content with their modest life. But then a
stranger comes knocking and Florence suddenly senses a restlessness in
Will's spirit that she had never seen before.
When he leaves her with only a note that tells her he will return before
their baby's birth, she is devastated, and the illness that stiffened
her joints returns. Counting the days until Will walks back through her
door, Florence busies herself with a Tree of Life quilt displaying a map
of the farm they call home. Doubts claw at her heart as Florence
struggles to believe Will's promise to return to her. Will her labor of
love - and faith in God - sustain her as she waits to see her beloved
once again?
