Ella Mae Whitcomb has never been the sort of woman who fills a room with words. She notices instead-the placement of every tin on a shelf, the sound of an uneasy silence, the small mistakes that can become dangerous in a place as unforgiving as Yeti, Alaska. When she arrives as a mail-order bride, she expects little more than duty, hard work, and a husband who will tolerate her quiet ways. David Sanders is not the man Ella feared she might marry.
Patient, steady, and gentle, he never asks her to become someone she's not.. As winter closes around the timber town and the women of Beckham work to build a life in the wilderness, Ella's careful eye and practical mind become exactly what Yeti needs. But being needed is not the same as feeling safe, and Ella must learn that mistakes do not make her useless, silence does not make her small, and love can arrive quietly-through mended gloves, shared cards, a hand offered without demand, and a man who cherishes her exactly as she is.
