Dellie has always done what her father and brother wanted on the family farm; she even married the suitor her older sister stood up - an earnest man with a college education and a fine house in town. Dellie has always done the proper thing. Always, that is, until now. Out of the blue, she finds herself falling for a stranger, a man stirring up the countryside with his fiery Populist speeches. Clearly, no good can come of it - he's an out-and-out rabble-rouser, a man set on disturbing the turn-of-the-century status quo on farms all over central Texas. And he's married. And then, for the love of this man, Dellie O'Barr tosses aside her own status - a privileged life and perfect reputation - and opens herself to whispers of adultery and disloyalty.

One, Andrew Ashland, is a dynamic political crusader. The other, Daniel O'Barr, is the man she leaves behind - the man who waits for her to come back home and stands by her when she returns to the scandalized town of McDade.
