Arabella Butler, born in 1789, lives with her large (and quite poor) family in the western country side. Luckily though, she had been engaged at birth to a rather wealthy man named Finnick, whom was born in the Mathews family- a high class family well known for their wealth. Being one of six children in a small farmhouse family, she was the light of hope and fortune for the Butler family. It seemed that her life was already planned out for her, that is, until she meets Oliver Edwards. Most people call him a gypsy, but he likes to call himself a traveler. With only a notebook and ten cents in his pocket, Mr. Edwards would be the death of her. But there's something about the mysterious man that catches Arabella's eye, and it won't seem to let go. What will happen to Arabella and her run down family? Read on to find out.
