The seventh novel by American writer Janet Oak in a series of books telling the story of the Davis family. The novel takes place in the western lands of North America, developed by settlers at the beginning of the 19th century. Belinda Davis is in doubt. Her friends have gotten married and have children, and she wonders what God has in store for her. The life of a nurse seems boring and monotonous to her. She misses adventures and surprises. When Belinda meets an elderly woman in need of a caregiver and receives an offer to go to Boston, she jumps for joy. Boston is a big, lively city, a far cry from the small prairie town where she grew up. For some time she is entertained by the opportunity to read books, attend theaters and enjoy a luxurious life. But, despite new experience, confidence in the future and even romantic experiences, Belinda feels restless, lonely and empty. Maybe, having spread her wings, she left something more than home and family?
