The storm took more than her husband and ruined most everything she had and so grateful that her horse Fella and dog Jack were spared. Somehow, she found the strength to load the wagon with what little she had left. But how was she going to do this? How would she honor Roberts's last request?
The death of Rebecca's husband meant she was going home to well meaning, loving brothers who would once again, try to run her life. She needed time

Why would they do that? Who were they? There was no such thing as knights in shining armor, she laughed. They were only a legenda fairy tale...Weren't they?
