   Summary

   In December of 1890, the Russian Flu crossed the Atlantic and made landfall on US soil. Within five weeks, the pandemic had spread throughout the entire country, leaving no community unscathed. Joel Miller’s wife and unborn child were counted among its many victims.

   Angry at the world and consumed by grief, Joel swore he’d never love again.

   Life had other plans.

   Or: Tommy is killed in a farming accident, leaving behind a young, pregnant wife. Joel follows through on his promise to look after her.
