But, as the waif grew to beautiful womanhood, she became an object of desire to the local young men, and even to her half-brother.

Against her wishes, she was married off, but Hannah kept on fighting for the man she wanted: Ned Ridley, who adored her and taught her the meaning of true love and passion...
