Summer, 1855. Sarah Brinton sets out from Rhode Island, leaving an
abusive husband and child behind to head west across the country,
looking for a refuge where nobody knows her history - or cares to
discover it. Sarah's journey ends at a small frontier post in
Minnesota Territory, on lands claimed both by white settlers and
Native Americans. There she finds herself another husband, a
Yale-educated doctor who serves the nearby Sioux reservation, and
settles into a new life. Her days on the edge of the prairie are
idyllic if tough, as Sarah befriends and works with the Sioux
women. But trouble is brewing in the territories. The Sioux tribes
are wary of the white settlers and resent the rampant theft of
their land. When the tribes take their fate into their own hands -
knowing that death will be the only outcome, Sarah's loyalties are
split between the Sioux and her fellow white settlers. As the
conflict rages, she finds herself lost to both worlds. The first
novel in ten years from the author of In the Cut and Miss
Aluminium, this is an unforgettable story about freedom and
oppression, intimacy and violence, and a woman caught in the
crossfire of one of the most seminal and shameful moments in
American history.
