Synopsis

What cost the price of bigotry? We are about to find out. When Captain Seth Walker returns home after the Civil War, he finds that his parents have been killed and his Georgia plantation home burned. To escape the heartache, he and his bride head west to begin a new life in Arkansas. Problems with the Klan develop, and years later a local ruffian attacks their mulatto servant girl. In a rage, Walker kills the attacker, but young Rob Stevens takes the blame-and the hanging. Rob's wife takes their daughter, Janell, away from Midvale, never to return.However, as a young woman, Janell does return to Midvale to clear her father's name. His wrongful hanging is brought full circle when she-through her own prejudice-mistakenly accuses a black juvenile of a sexual assault on the white Kathy Boone. With the help of young Dr. Dell Lassiter, Janell struggles to overcome her guilt from the vigilante justice that follows, and the racial prejudice that controls her. When a life-changing secret in her own past is discovered, her world nears collapse-but "love never fails". Dell and others help her learn to accept the beauty of the truth, and the freedom it holds for the future.
