From the back cover: "In a city separated by a river, a lovely girl from the poor side of town skates over the frozen water into the world of the sophisticated rich. There, she wins the heart of a wealthy young man, and only a jealous and dangerous rival blocks the path to eternal love."

Set at the beginning of World War II, Grace Livingston Hill once again weaves a tale of true romance with a dash of war-time intrigue. As always, she exemplifies Christian values and gives biblical insights into the big problems of the world as well as the common problems of daily life.
