Della Anders — a miner's daughter raised on sufferance by wealthy relatives — trades the comforts of Salt Lake City for a teaching post in the Winter Quarters coal camp of 1899. Among the warmhearted Welsh, Finnish, and immigrant families of the camp, she discovers a sense of belonging she's never known, mentors eager children, and finds love. But when tragedy strikes in the Scofield Mine, Della's world is changed forever.

Based on the real 1900 Scofield Mine Disaster that claimed nearly 200 lives, this warm, faith-filled historical romance from award-winning author Carla Kelly is a tribute, to the redemptive power of community, love, and quiet courage.

  • A sweeping, tender love story built around Utah's worst coal-mining disaster—based on true events.
  • Award-winning romance veteran Carla Kelly (two RITAs, a Whitney) brings 1900 Utah vividly to life.
“"You could have picked an easier place than Winter Quarters," Jesse chided gently.”

Perfect for a reader who loves clean, warmhearted historical romance rooted in real Utah/LDS pioneer-era history and stories of resilient communities.
