Two women defy the brutal confines of Victorian marriage to forge an unbreakable bond across the untamed American frontier.
Award-winning author Nevada Barr reveals another side to her remarkable storytelling prowess with this heart-wrenching yet tender tale of two women whose boundless devotion to each other is continually challenged in nineteenth century America.
The narrative unfolds in Calliope, Pennsylvania, where sixteen-year-old Sarah Mary Tolstonadge endures a brutal, loveless marriage. Barr follows the arrival of Imogene Grelznik, an independent schoolteacher from Philadelphia who offers Sarah a refuge from violence.
When scandal drives both women west, the harsh Nevada desert forces them to start anew at an isolated stagecoach stop. The remote station at Round Hole confronts the pair with grueling labor, cattle ranching, and the constant threat of discovery.
- Found Family: Caring for young Wolf, an orphaned boy left behind in town, helps Sarah heal from the agonizing loss of the infant son stolen from her by her cruel husband.
- Old West: The unforgiving terrain of the Smoke Creek basin tests their endurance as they manage the Round Hole relay station, tending supply teams, stray cattle, and an orphaned coyote pup.
- Friends to Lovers: What begins in a Pennsylvania schoolroom as quiet solace from a brutal marriage deepens into an unyielding partnership that withstands pursuit, exposure, and isolation.
- Historical Romance: A fleeting season of comfort in Reno brings Imogene a coveted post at Bishop Whitaker’s School for Girls, until past accusations force them back onto the open road.
- Also by This Author: Endangered Species, Firestorm and Ill Wind.
