Man mano che i due si conoscono meglio, i frammenti delle loro storie vengono a galla, finché un avvenimento, del tutto straordinario, cambia il corso della loro relazione e della loro vita per sempre. Un romanzo dei giorni nostri, una storia di redenzione che ci ricorda come la grazia sia in grado di trasformare le persone, anche quelle più danneggiate dal male di questo mondo.

Bandita da Boston dal suo ricco patrigno, è venuta a reclamare l'eredità lasciatele da uno zio che non ha mai conosciuto: una macchina da stampa e la redazione di un giornale sulla strada principale, traboccante di bordelli e saloon. Le spetta anche una miniera, che però a detta di tutti è priva di valore. Turbata dall'oppressione sotto cui vivono i minatori locali e le loro famiglie, Kathryn decide di rilanciare il giornale dello zio, salvo poi ritrovarsi al centro di un vortice in cui diventa antagonista degli uomini più potenti di Calvada.

California, 1850. La straordinaria bellezza di Angel è la sua fortuna: vendere il suo corpo ai cercatori d'oro le consente di avere un luogo sicuro dove mangiare e dormire. Ma in realtà Angel sopravvive soltanto grazie al cinismo e a un profondo odio interiore per tutti gli uomini. Nessuno al mondo ha il permesso di accedere al suo cuore, custodito da un muro di ghiaccio che anestetizza il dolore e il ricordo delle indicibili crudeltà e ingiustizie subite durante l'infanzia. La costanza e la forza tranquilla di Michael sono quanto di più lontano dalla spregiudicatezza a cui Angel è abituata. Quest'uomo onesto e paziente dice di essere stato chiamato da Dio a sposarla e a rispettarla. Il suo amore sincero e incondizionato dapprima la indispettisce, ma pian piano smantella le sue difese. Un insopportabile senso di indegnità e di paura accompagna però l'inatteso intenerimento. E così Angel fugge, ritorna nelle tenebre, tocca nuovamente il fondo e compie alla fine la Scelta che le permetterà di rinascere e di dare un senso a ogni cosa.
