Crackling with the atmosphere of frontier days, this classic tale sweeps listeners into the late 1800s, when life on the land was hard--and dying often came easy. The life of a mail-order bride was no breeze. It seemed to Laurie Bonnet she couldn't do even the simplest thing right. She couldn't make a cup of coffee fit for a dog, so how was she going to help her man in a war over his land? When things get too tough, Laurie decides to flee back home. On the trail she gets lost and meets up with a mysterious old man who teaches her a few things about love and courage. And she'll need plenty of both when she returns to stand by her husband. Because now the Miller clan has hired themselves a gunman to run Steve Bonnet off his land--or put him under the ground.
