Sadie Wagner has always been devoted to her family. So when her stepfather is injured and can't work, she decides to leave home and accept a position as a clerk at the mercantile in Goldtree, Kansas. Goldtree also offers the opportunity to use her God-given singing talent - though the promised opera house is far different from what she imagined. With her family needing every cent she can provide, Sadie will do anything to keep her job. Thad McKane comes to Goldtree at the request of the town council. The town has been plagued by bootlegging operations, and Thad believes he can find the culprit. After he earns enough money doing sheriff work, he wants to use it to pay for his training to become a minister. Thad is immediately attracted to the beautiful singer who performs in Asa Baxter's unusual opera house, but when he hears her practicing bawdy tunes, he begins to wonder if she's far less innocent than she seems. And when Sadie appears to be part of the very crimes he's come to investigate, is there any hope the love blossoming between them will survive?

1895 and Sadie Wagner sets out to Goldtree, Kansas, to work as Clerk for sisters Melva and Shelva Baxter at their Mercantile, (traditional department store to UK readers.) Her beloved step-father has been injured in an accident and can’t work, and Sadie as the oldest child, needs to earn some money to help her family. Sid her cousin, has procured this job for her and the real enticement is the promise of the chance to sing in the local ‘Opera’ House Thaddeus Mckane (Thad) is also a newcomer to Goldtree and is immediately a thorn in the side of Sid, who has loved Sadie from a child. As the story develops we learn about life in small town America back then, the hopes and dreams of the people, good and bad. The sisters Melva and Shelva come alive in all their eccentric lovability, their brother Asa in his evilness.
