How did Elnora end up in Willow Springs, Wyoming? She remembered having plans before the move. She planned to be a successful banker in Southern California. She planned on spending her weekends at the beach and eventually growing old with the sound of waves breaking in the background. Then she fell in love and found a new dream with her Prince Charming, Johnathan, who moved her to Willow Springs, Wyoming.
Elnora expected the townsfolk to be yahoos. They probably don't even have banks, she thought. They probably hide their money in mattresses. But it was worth it for the love of her life, and so she did her best to make do. Even so, the unexpected racism toward the nearby Indian reservation shocked her. They were a peaceful people; why did the town hold such a grudge?
When Elnora and Johnathan make the acquaintance of five Native American children, their hearts melt at their tragic plight. Yet the children receive no sympathy from the other residents of Willow Springs. It's up to Elnora to take action. A city girl becomes a huge-hearted country woman and takes on racism, danger, and her own fears to become the hero she never knew or expected she could be. Maybe Wyoming isn't so bad after all.
