Synopsis

From a two-time Spur Award-winning author – the highest honor in American frontier fiction – comes the story of Anna Olson, a Civil War spinster. With no prospects for marriage and family, Anna pins her future on the frontier and heads west to stake a claim on the wide-open prairies of the Dakota frontier.

“Most women go from their father’s house to their husband’s house,” Anna said. “Here, I have my own house. I am my own person.”

But the Dakota Plains are not empty.

Anna’s new life collides with Two Hawks MacKenzie, the son of a Scots fur trapper and a Lakota woman. Together, they forge a bond that could connect their two worlds – despite prejudice and intolerance they encounter.
