Yet what would happen to her newfound happiness when the stalwart farmer learned the horrible secret that had sent her on the run. A biddable mother for his children was all that Gar had expected when he took Leah Gunderson to wife. Yet Leah's spirited presence lightened his dark and lonely existence, and made him long to find a way to free her from her troubled past.
