Running an outpost is in Gabrielle's blood and she knows every path and tree and the Indian names for them. Over the years, she has seen many city folk venture into the pine woods to play frontier woodsman. She fears them, feels disdain for them. But when she finds Jefferson Alexander half froze to death in a snow storm, she doesn't think twice and saves him. As he sleeps, she looks at his handsome chiseled features. This stranger is most welcome in her home.
