Clara Stewart wants to go West. Her ticket to Cranston is a teaching certificate and a prearranged marriage. Graham Lee earns a management position to extend the Canadian Pacific Railway line through the Rocky Mountains, battling pre-conceived notions at every turn. 

The courtship is tested when Clara’s compassion for the frontier immigrant workers wreaks conflict and heartbreak for Graham, the railroad boss. Clara answers the call to share God’s unconditional love, and when tragedy strikes at the camp, the heart of the community awakens. The lines become grayed for Graham when he is forced to choose between his conscience, his loyalties, his betrothed, and his job. Will the transformation reshape Cranston’s future and bring hope to the couple who is headed for their happily ever after? Or drive them apart?
