Marrying a rodeo cowboy, she moved with him to the plains of South Dakota where they both competed in rodeos and then turned to a ranching lifestyle.

Five stars -This book is seriously so engaging (I literally couldn't put it down), it has the right amount of suspense, anticipation, and the perfect amount of sensual writing and best of all its about a rugged, western young women who is so determined to live her best life despite many struggles! Best of all its written by a cowgirl, grandma, rancher, trail rider from South Dakota - Johny Weber !!! - Justine K., Advance Reader Review

Five stars - Anyone that loves strong women, historical fiction a good romance, the adventure of living in another time will find this a great read. I hope the author has another book in the works. - Wendy, Advance Reader Review

Five stars - Johny Weber is the best new author I have read this year. This is a historical fiction novel, which is a genre I love. I have lived in the West all of my life, starting on the West Coast then moving to landlocked states near the Rocky Mountains. Much of where Johny writes about, I have either lived or visited. When one of the characters goes to the California Gold Rush, it is like reliving 4th-grade state history and envisioning the area I call home. Most of this story takes place in Colorado, which I have visited many times. Being able to "see" where the story takes place makes it even more interesting. I highly recommend. - DNB, Advance Reader Review
