What one hoped to find can appear in an unexpected place.

In 1926, Louise Miller was not interested in remaining on her family's Minnesota farm after graduation. At a dance, she meets the Midwest Musicale's violin player Leo Zint. After a "postcards and promises" courtship, Leo turns up and asks her to marry him and his bohemian band life. Music and adventure swing until Leo changes his tune and settles them in Bonetrail, North Dakota, which echoes the small town Louise left behind. As their new farm life rhythms begin, an economic and ecological disaster plows America into the Great Depression. Louise will discover if the grit inside her is stronger than the land blowing away around her.
