1889, Chicago.

It’s Christmas and Charity DeWitt is celebrating her engagement to recent medical school graduate Dr. Fox Skilling with a Charm Cake – a cake that contains symbolic charms crafted by her father at his jewelry store. When her slice contains a fleur-de-lis, she’s certain the tiny silver symbol of new beginnings has to do with her upcoming wedding to Fox – or does it?

After Fox announces his plans to go out west to begin a medical practice, she journeys with him to Oregon where she meets Peter Abrams, a schoolteacher partially paralyzed from a fall. Why is she so drawn to Peter and his books? Is it just because she’s never learned to read? Or could it be more?
