Rose Lantz has always despised "the wild man" who lives alone in a cabin in the woods. Ethan Daniels is a frontiersman who spends half the year hunting and exploring the vast forests far west of Lancaster, Pennsylvania and she wants nothing to do with a person who seems incapable of putting down roots. But when Ethan comes to her rescue in a dangerous situation she finds she has to examine herself before God and change her opinion of the individual Native Americans call "Long Hunter". To her shock, this examination of her heart brings her face-to-face with a passion she has never experienced before for any man on earth, including the young Amish farmer she has sworn to marry in two months time.
