A pampered upbringing, Maggie Lynn McNeil-Rivers grew up on her family's two-century-old ranch, the Aurora. Since birth, her father has asked for his daughter to be called 'Miss Maggie.' The death of her mother when Maggie was fifteen challenged her father with raising a teen. Laura Webb joined the household when Maggie's mother became ill. She cared for the family, cooking, cleaning, tending the garden, and doing whatever was necessary.Maggie's father's untimely death three years later toughened Maggie to take control and run the three-thousand-acre ranch. She married within months after her eighteenth birthday to Cal Rivers-a professional bull rider and friend to her neighbor, Matt Daniels, who he met on the circuit. Early in their marriage, Maggie miscarries from a horseback accident.Soon after Cal's death by rustlers, Sam declares his belated love to Maggie and proposes. Unbeknownst to Maggie, Matt is determined to keep a promise he made to his dying friend. Reality comes knocking through the onset of tragic events shaping her heart and character. How can she hold onto her faith and courage? Will God reveal her true purpose through the heartaches?
