For thirteen years Rebecca Rice suffocated under the social restraints of widowhood, soaking up the leftovers of other peoples lives like a sponge. She can't remember a time in her life when she didn't do exactly what was expected of her __ until now. Armed with a knowledge of nursing and faith healing she learned from a visiting missionary group, she heads for the hill country of southeastern Oklahoma, Indian Territory, to share her new vocation.
