Iowa, 1850: Die fünfzehnjährigen Camilla Deardon würde ihr Leben wohl als „eintönig“ bezeichnen. Das ändert sich schlagartig, als sie Nathan Fox kennenlernt. Dem Charme des gutaussehenden Mannes kann sich Camilla nicht entziehen, so sehr ihre Eltern sie auch vor ihm warnen. Denn Nathan gehört zu einer Gruppe Mormonen, die in der Nähe ihr Lager aufgeschlagen haben. Voller Sehnsucht nach Freiheit und Geborgenheit brennt Camilla mit ihrem Liebsten durch. Doch das vermeintliche Glück währt nicht lange. Camilla muss sich mit dem Kern ihres christlichen Glaubens auseinandersetzen. Und mit der Frage, was sie als Ehefrau und Mutter alles ertragen kann. Die Fortsetzung dieses Romans erscheint im Juni 2012.
