Reach for a Copper Halo

With his lumberjack build, Argus Drury towers over the other laborers at Granite Mine. Always quick to do a favor, he drives a friend on a three-day wagon ride to Fort Benton to pick up the man's fiancee traveling by steamboat up the Missouri River. Unknown to all, Claretta Lovell accompanies her cousin Rebekah, looking for a future in the burgeoning Montana Territory. A fluke entry into a talent show in Garrison bonds the two as Claretta faces her inadequacies to perform on stage. A behind-the-scenes man, will Argus deny his true feelings for the full-figured singer? Claretta's dowry -- a gristmill's grinding stone--hangs in the balance. Should Argus match it with a waterfall along his Rocky Creek claim for the perfect pairing? In the riveting showdown for first place in the talent contest, find out who steps out of the spotlight to follow their heart.
