This story shows the resilience of women from the 1800's. They are forced to marry whomever their parents choose for them and have the make it work. Unfortunately, in this case it didn't. Jessie's husband was brutal and tortured her daily so she made a plan to be able to run away with a few things and burn the house down, her husband didn't know she had practiced with his gun. Forced to run away she went back to her family home in time to find more death. She found a friend along the trail and she and a few more are taking the cattle from the ranch to a buyer in San Diego. Long trip and lots of hazards on the way. Great story!

Should be titled “Cattle Drive from Hell”.
This was a strange book with a lot of violence against women talked about from Jessie and her mother’s past. The characters were very good even as miss matched as they were. There was lots of action. The men used good judgment,even though Jessie stayed mixed up most of the way through the book. The book is an interesting read, even with a different ending than I expected, but you know the heroine always wins out in the end. Or did she? Read and enjoy.

Great story
A great story filled with tragedy, adventure and eventually love. Jessie did not grow up a home filled with love and she was given to a man to marry. No love just pain was all she got. And then the real story begins.
