Finally, the caravan is finishing up their almost nine month journey and going home to Clover Creek. As they get close, Henrietta is filled with excitement. She knows she's going where she needs to be. Her pa and brothers are her responsibility, but she doesn't mind. It makes her feel good to do for others. The one thing in her life that bothers her was that the young man she's had her eye on since Independence, has yet to show any interest in her.
After a few words from Henrietta's brother, Roy finally gets the courage up to ask Henrietta's father, the former captain of their company, if he may court his daughter. He's had his eye on Henri since they were still in Missouri. They begin to court quickly, and they marry as soon as he has a shelter built for them to last through the winter. Roy is genuinely surprised at how good a cook he's married, but he sees it causing problems for his mother and sisters, who can manage not to kill people with their meals, but that's about it.
Will he be able to reconcile his love for Henri and still be close to his family? Or will they have to live together with no love for the rest of their lives?
