The Heart Knows

Widow Lydia Wainwright travels west to begin a new life as a frontier schoolmarm, but a train wreck derails her plans and leaves her with a head injury.

Drew Spurlock races to the wreck and mistakes Lydia for his long lost cousin Minnie, a woman contracted to care for his two love-starved children.

Suffering from amnesia, Lydia stubbornly throws herself into her new life and embraces the freedom of Kansas and the women's suffrage movement.

Drawn to her independent spirit, Drew is disturbed by facts that don't add up. He digs for answers but, when he discovers the truth, he keeps it secret so Lydia will stay.

When Lydia remembers her identity, she struggles to make the right choice. Can she respect a man she loves who allowed her to live a lie, or must she leave him and the children who are as dear to her as life itself?
