In 1896, recent law school graduate Charlotte Baker heads to Soda Flats, Colorado, in response to the town’s need for a lawyer. The young barrister is looking forward to her new life in Colorado but is saddened by the reason for her move. It turns out her former fiancé, Conrad Walker III, used her as his personal tutor to get through law school and pass the bar. Once accomplished, he not only dropped her, but also promised to ruin her professionally if she remained in Philadelphia. To avoid the gossip, Charlotte tells everyone in Soda Flats that she is a widow. It seems the only respectable role for a lone woman moving west. Once settled in her new town, she meets many good people, including handsome stonemason, Niels Sorensen. Charlotte wants very much to have a life with Niels, but she has so many secrets, not actually being a widow the least of them.
