 Clara Mae O'Sullivan has always been too much-too opinionated, too bookish, too unmarriageable. When she flees her privileged but suffocating life, bruised and disgraced, she finds unexpected refuge in the quiet company of William "Billy" McCarty-horse trainer, ex-convict, and a man known more for silence than kindness.
