Two sisters. Two worlds. One bond. Eleanor remains in Chicago, surrounded by refinement, ideas, and possibility. Margaret ventures west, where the land is stark, the winters merciless, and loneliness settles deep into the bones. Separated by distance and circumstance, their lives unfold in parallel—until a call for help pulls Eleanor into the vast and unforgiving prairie. There, she must confront not only what has become of her sister, but the fragile line between endurance and unraveling.

When Colleen Allegretti boards a plane to Ireland, she expects a quiet trip to trace her mother’s family roots.
