Virginia King's hand in marriage is promised as collateral on a loan her father makes with Nicholas Grant in order to bury her mother in something better than a pine box.

In her quest for love, she suffers through pneumonia, cattle thieves, and the question as to whether Nicholas is her younger brother Simon's real father.
