Sinopsis

Linda is forced by her brutal father to marry Decker an elderly lumberman who quickly realizes that Linda is not happy with him and does everything he can to make her life easier. Although Linda falls in love with Dr. Paul Randall she remains with her husband until a scheming woman claims to be Decker's first and legal wife. The film addresses issues of personal improvement and resilience to overcome adversity and the courage to face life as ways to empower women.
