It is the story of a member of the Southern gentry cast out of his own society. Abandoned by the North and imprisoned as an undercover Union officer in a war against his homeland, Luke Barren serves eight years in a Texas prison before being released. His home is gone, his family is dead. He is now a man on the edge, and those who get in his way are sorry they ever heard his name--until he gets stuck with a runaway boy and a hard-headed young French widow who refuse to let him hate.
