About this audiobook
Following the devastating aftermath of the Civil War, a desperate, orphaned ranchwoman makes a bold gamble to save her family's ruined estate by driving her massive cattle herd thousands of miles north. The grueling journey across uncharted, hostile territories is fraught with deadly river crossings, stampedes, and the constant threat of ruthless Comanche raiding parties. Joined by a tough, enigmatic trail boss, she must endure unimaginable physical and emotional hardships to reach the lucrative markets. It is a sweeping, monumental epic that captures the brutal reality and breathtaking scale of the historic cattle drives.
