Dazzled by an exotic young widow from Canton, he is drawn into the immigrant enclave, a decision that will rock his foundation and lead him down a treacherous path.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Country girl Mandy Culpepper is only fifteen when she's orphaned and brought under the protection of the Firestone name.
