The story revolves around Virginia Valdés McVeagh, affectionately known as "Ginger," a young woman grappling with grief following her brother's death in World War I. As she navigates her isolation on her family's cattle ranch, Dos Pozos, she meets Dean Wolcott, her brother's comrade, who brings her a letter from Aleck, stirring a mix of emotions and connections that challenge Ginger's understanding of love and loss. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Virginia as she mourns the death of her brother and prepares to spend a solitary Christmas filled with grief. However, her world suddenly shifts when Dean arrives, bringing with him a piece of her brother's past that reawakens her spirit. The narrative establishes Virginia's character, her strength, and her independence as she takes charge of the ranch while wrestling with her sense of loss. As holiday guests unexpectedly arrive, she faces the complexities of newfound relationships, particularly with Dean, whose presence ignites a blend of admiration and confusion, setting the stage for emotional growth and conflict that will unfold throughout the story.
