Elizabeth gulped back the lump of nervousness in her throat. Before her mother had passed away so unexpectedly, it had been her intention to bring the three youngest with her to Wyoming where her betrothed waited patiently for her arrival.For over a year, Elizabeth had been writing Stephan Carey, a rancher whose letters filled her with warmth and promise.
