He's dating one sister and falling for the other.
Originally diagnosed with Lyme's Disease, Esther MacCartney is frustrated because she's been bedridden for months and doctors can't tell her if she'll ever be well again. The only person who's visited her regularly is her sister's on-again, off-again boyfriend, Monroe.
He makes her laugh and treats her like he enjoys her company. But her sister has a job offer off the farm and Esther is afraid Monroe will propose to get her to stay.
Monroe Hutchison is spending the winter in Prairie Rose, Iowa, and thinking about settling there permanently. The MacCartney sister that's he's been kind of dating would make an excellent farmer's wife, but it's her younger sister, Esther, who makes him laugh. He enjoys her company and sometimes forgets that she never gets up from the couch and could never handle the rigorous life of a farmer's wife.
If he kisses one, can he forget about the other? But which sister does he want to kiss?
Will Esther ever get better? Could Monroe sacrifice the dream he's had since childhood to be able to care for the sister who captivates him? Or will he be like everyone else and overlook her charm because of her sickness?
They're all wrong for each other, but why does being together feel so right?
