Synopsis

Coleen has a terrible secret. She didn't mean for Ma and Pa to think that the wagon woman's baby was their own. It was almost an accident, the way Colleen's stillborn sister got switched with the dying woman's baby: Pa was away, and Ma was too ill to know what was happening.

The woman begged Colleen to take her newborn girl and keep it safe from her cruel husband, so how could Colleen refuse?

She meant to tell Ma and Pa the truth, but somehow it just never seemed to be the right moment.

But now the father of the child has come back, looking for what? The baby? Money? What if he discovers the truth--will Colleen's secret unravel? And then what?

Frances Arrington, author of Bluestem, vividly evokes the lonesome, wild beauty of the 1860s American prairie in this gripping tale of secrets and suspense.
