A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you’re at home. ~ Author Unknown

Charles is a former soldier who fought for American Independence after losing his father to a British bullet. Edward is an Irish farmer who left Ireland and became an indentured servant after a plague took his family. Their paths cross by chance, and they decide to embark on a journey together. Can two men from such disparate backgrounds build a future from the cold ashes of war and sickness in the hostile wilderness of 1780’s Ohio?
