On the Wyoming frontier, a spunky woman proves courage can outlast danger and doubt.
June Tolliver grows up amid rough memories, hard work, and a future she won't back down from. In a rugged landscape of cattle, loyalties, and rough men, she faces schemes and threats with resolve that earns respect and fear in equal measure. This edition follows a widow’s daughter as she navigates family ties, a volatile past, and a life shaped by the men who ride the range.
Across a world of dust, storms, and sudden violence, the book blends frontier hardship with a steadfast spirit and a quiet, growing courage that helps June hold her ground—and find a path forward with a young ranch hand who shares her sense of belonging and duty.
Ideal for fans of frontier tales of courage, loyalty, and a woman who won’t back down.

It caught in a spotlight the cheap, dingy gown, the coarse stockings through the holes of which white flesh peeped, the heavy, broken brogans that disfigured the feet. It beat upon a small head with a mass of black, wild-flying hair, on red lips curved with discontent, into dark eyes passionate and resentful at what fate had made of her young life. A silent, sullen lass, one might have guessed, and the judgment would have been true as most first impressions. The girl watched her father drive half a dozen dogies into the mountain corral perched precariously on the hillside. Soon now it would be dusk.
