Margaret suspects the new foreman on her father's ranch is hiding something. Though Daniel promises she's safe with him around, how can she be sure? Born and raised on a sprawling ranch in Texas, Margaret O'Brien prides herself on her competence as a rancher. She's convinced she can do as good a job on the ranch as her brother who died in the war. But her father believes she's made for more than just dawn-to-dusk work. He wants her to have the love of a good man, to have children, to build a life. But she gave up hope for such dreams years ago. The ranch is her life now. When Margaret's father hires Daniel Cutler as a new foreman, she's frustrated and suspicious. Daniel swears he's turned over a new leaf and isn't involved with the thieves he used to run with, but Margaret is unconvinced.
