He is running from the bitter memories of ministry, and ultimately, from his God. Venturing into a blizzard to chase away wolves drawn close to his cabin by hunger, Hunter finds a beautiful young woman in the snow, wounded by the wolves and half dead Her name is Quaye McGandley, and she is an Irish woman sold into slavery to a brutal husband who then brought her to America against her will.
