Jessie Wheeler knows how to take care of herself and her girls. The owner of Token Creek's general store has been doing it for some time, nearly eight years, since the day her husband walked out on her. Seth Redding, Jessie's husband, has done a lot of thinking in those eight years, some of it in a jail cell. Lookig back on their marriage, he can't believe he left Jessie and their baby. It was true that Jessie had her own way of doing things and could be hardheaded. But they had shared a special kind of love too, at least early on. If only he'd known then what he knows now.
