A modern-day romance set to the pace from the past. A woman inherits her five times great grandmother's antique women's secretary desk and discovers a diary hidden in a secret compartment in its upper carvings. The diary contains a year from her grandmother's life with her husband on his ranch outside Amarillo, Texas, before the Civil War. The woman is outraged at the story in her grandmother's diary and feels compelled to vindicate her grandmother's name from the story written in the diary. She sets out to see how the husband's side of the family has dealt with her grandmother's reputation over the years, and her discovery trip brings her into direct contact with the current owner of the ranch. She finds that the story in her grandmother's diary is incomplete, and the ranch owner's mother helps her complete the story from the discovered diary with another story that was contained in another diary left at the ranch by her grandmother. The woman's encounter with the current owner of the ranch brings surprise. The woman is almost the physical mirror image of her grandmother, and the ranch owner feels compelled to have the real-life woman to the cold oil paint of an old portrait of her grandmother and, at first, has trouble separating the real from the fantasy concerning her. They both find that they must compromise to state each other's needs and form a real-life partnership.
