    Maggie Donovan, a city-based reporter for the Country Women’s Magazine, strives to move past her resentment towards her ex-husband, focusing on her job, children, and church.

    Married at last, life is bliss for Frank and Maggie, until storm clouds gather over Goddard Downs

    Frank and Maggie are enjoying married life, but all is not well on the home front.

    The whole family’s livelihood comes under threat when the government declares a ban on live cattle exports.

    Will she ever see herself as God sees her? As a precious, much-loved daughter of the King?

    David is riddled with guilt. He thought that caring for Serena would assuage that guilt. It didn’t. Maybe fighting a raging fire will help.

    Unless he dies in the process.

    But what does it matter now that Serena has rejected him?

    Maggie longs to help her daughter find peace, but can she balance her new marriage to Frank at the same time?

    He’s a cowboy who’s lost his way. She’s a daughter who’s lost her home.

    Joshua Goddard has lived in the shadow of his father and brother all his life. He wants more from life than simply taking tourists on overnight cattle drives.

    Stella Martin has done her best to keep her family’s cattle station afloat, but the bank has had enough and her parents have given up.

    However, Indigo Downs is her home and she’ll do what she can to get it back. Even if it means taking a job at Goddard Downs.

    She won’t lose her heart to Joshua Goddard, the good-looking cowboy she met at the rodeo. He’s no good for her. He doesn’t share her faith. It can’t work.

    But maybe it can… if he would only allow God to heal his deep-seated hurts, maybe they can both find the love they’ve been searching for.

    The tragedy casts doubt on Frank and Maggie's retirement plans, as they ponder whether to guide their family through this difficult time.

    But their trip is interrupted when Frank grows ill.

    How could this have happened? He was the epitome of health. Will he survive? Will they need to return home? What are God’s plans?

    Meanwhile, more changes are underfoot at Goddard Downs.

    Sean has returned and has his eyes on Elizabeth, but does Elizabeth have her eyes on him?

    However, Sean, now co-manager of Goddard Downs, grapples with self-doubt and his father's critical words, fearing he's not good enough for Elizabeth. Meanwhile, Elizabeth grows tired of waiting for Sean.

    Tempted by an opportunity to travel and nurse globally, she questions her future with Sean and considers skipping the family Christmas.

    Amidst these crossroads, the story explores whether Sean can overcome his fears to commit to Elizabeth, and if she will choose love or a life of travel. This Christmas could mark a pivotal moment in their lives.
