In the small community of Whylah Falls, young Lyla Cromwell sees an elegant and handsome stranger arrive into town. In a heartbeat, Lyla is infatuated. But she’s nothing like the object of her affection, Hank Johnson. She’s a small-town romantic who writes beautiful poetry. He’s an illiterate, arrogant smooth-talker, looking for easy women and easier money. Hank scoffs at the local men and their dangerous, low-paying work in the nearby mine. Against her family’s warnings, Lyla falls in love with Hank. And when the young couple runs away to the city, Hank is confident he’ll get a high-paying job. But his dreams are shattered, and he finds cold comfort in the arms of another woman...
