Plot

Montana sheep farmer Rebecca Yoder offers sanctuary to an on-the-lam outlaw, Johnny Gault, who is suffering from a gunshot wound. Yoder is a recent widow, and her decision to help the outsider doesn't sit well with her Quaker community.

Sinekatalog’s take

A Quaker widow shelters a wounded outlaw and her community begins to turn against her. It is a slow, scenic western romance concerned with conscience and faith more than gunplay. Gentle and sincere, if a touch predictable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
