After the death of her father and brother, Elizabeth Dawson, a girl from Montana, returns home after years away to take care of the family ranch, traditionally considered to be men's business. While those with this kind of reasoning, with other motives, plot to buy off the property from her, a young man tries to marry her and gain access to her inheritance, and another has a twisted way of expressing his love to her. Will she consider these proposals, or will she dig in her heels and saddle up for the bumpy ranch ride?
At the center of all this is a sickness caused by a waste dump -a cover-up her mind is fixed on unraveling. The more she seeks answers, the more she finds herself in a murky stream of dark family secrets, conspiracies, and lies. Does she have the dogged tenacity of a cowgirl to go all out?
In this gripping tale of resilience, survival, betrayal, revenge, and redemption, the blurred lines between duty and love spark a chain reaction that will leave survivors forever changed - and ready to make their mark.
