The Post Civil War westward expansion in North America was neither smooth nor easy. Those who moved to the Western Territories had to deal with hostile weather, hostile wildlife, sometimes hostile Native American Indian Tribes, all wrapped up in a new and unfamiliar land. The year is 1868, the place Southwestern Kansas. This tale has more twists and turns than a country road. It has all the trappings of the old West, with honorable men, inept bank robbers, soiled doves, heartbreaking death, and more. Weaving throughout is the poignant love triangle, telling of a woman married to one man and in love with another. This book is written in the tradition of Louis L'Amour, Zane Grey and Owen Wister's The Virginian. Imagine The Virginian with the main character being a woman; a Western adventure from a distinctive Woman's perspective.
