"Wyoming, 1876. For as long as they have lived on the frontier, the Bemis and Webber families have relied on each other...But when Ernest Bemis finds his wife, Cora, in a compromising situation with their neighbor...a man is dead, Ernest is off to prison, and the women left behind are divided by rage and remorse...Cora and Nettie Mae begin to forge an unexpected sisterhood. But when a love blossoms between [their children], bonds are once again tested, and these two resilient women must finally decide whether they can learn to trust each other--or else risk losing everything they hold dear." --book jacket.
