Publisher's Synopsis
Tipper had been told the Western Territories already had someone living there, and that they were not interested in any of the whites encroaching onto their lands. She had been told that some called it the Great Sioux Nation, and it was peopled with savages. She had been told of wild hostiles, the Indians who rape white women; those who killed the settlers, leaving their bodies laying out on the prairie as examples of what happens to those who are not wanted there. When forces to flee town, she heads towards to the Dakota Territories, seeking to start a new life by following the Mormon Trail, riding with one of the many wagon trains that were now headed that way, the lure of gold in the Black Hills drawing settlers and miners from across the country When her own wagon train is attacked, she learns what she wasn't told... you live another life when you find yourself out there on Indian Lands... and sometimes, you don't want to come back.
