About this book

When Beth uncovers her father's sinister plan to lock her away, she hatches a desperate scheme to rescue her mother from the asylum and flee west on a wagon train—posing as sisters to hide their true identities. Jake Holt, the wagon train's sharp-eyed scout, quickly senses these two women are running from something, and as rumors of Pinkerton agents hunting for wanted criminals spread through camp, Beth finds herself drawn to confide in the one man she shouldn't trust with her dangerous secret. As the miles roll on toward Idaho and their carefully constructed lies threaten to unravel, Beth and Jake must navigate the perilous choice between self-preservation and surrendering their hearts to each other. It's a thrilling tale of grit, family bonds, and finding love when the stakes—and the dangers—have never been higher.

Songs about longing, trust, and finding safety in uncertain times. Think: Bon Iver, The Lumineers, Hozier, First Aid Kit. Tender, hopeful, with understated emotional depth.”
