Sherwood Stratham is banished to America by his wealthy father who has had enough of his carousing, drinking, and gambling. It is 1916 and Sherwood is almost relieved to go. He won't have to see any more of his former school chums leave to fight in the war, nor be required to attend another funeral when they returned in a box. He himself was injured in the war and now walks with a limp and has an awful scar on his face. In August of 1914 nearly everyone in England had thought the war would be over by Christmas. Almost 2 years and thousands of casualties later, there was no end in sight. Sherwood is sent to Idaho to work the ranch of Griff Arlington. Griff's daughter, Cleo (Cleopatra), doesn't care much what traditional wisdom said a woman should do or not do. She dresses like a cowhand and works like one. Of course, Woody and Cleo fall in love and are willing to sacrifice all for each other. This is an inspiring story of life during World War I, the changes faith effects in individuals, and the importance of family.
