Cora — Mildred Colvin

Cora can't wait to leave the prairie. When her city beau, George Merrill, fails to rescue her, Cora embraces the truth - this land is now her home. She opens her heart to the people and discovers life is far better than she'd ever thought it could be.

Aaron Stark has loved Cora since she emerged from a hollowed sycamore tree after a blizzard. He knows she can never love him - he's poorly educated and could never offer her the life she once knew.

But Cora has come to love Aaron...if only he'd believe her. His claim to having been "born again" and George's arrival from St. Louis complicate matters, but Cora wants to convince Aaron of the truth of her love. Will she ever allow God to move in her heart, too?
