An historic Pennsylvania canal town sets the stage for three unforgettable romances. Life for Kelly McGregor is a daily drudge of driving her father's mules along Lehigh Canal...until a shopkeeper makes her farfetched dreams seem possible. Betty Nelson is reluctant to see her minister father retire--and even more reluctant to meet the man who is to take his place. Widow Sarah Tucker longs for a life that doesn't revolve around canals; then a canal boat captain and a blacksmith both vie for her affection in a battle of the heart over mind.
