What this book is about

Abigail McKenzie, a proper schoolteacher, reluctantly takes in two injured men after a train robbery: a gentle outlaw and a bitter Civil War veteran named David Melcher. As she nurses them both, feelings she was certain she didn't have begin to surface. Spencer writes with warmth and quiet emotional precision; the novel is sensual but not explicit.
