In the spirit of Portis's True Grit, this compelling novel is set in the rough-riding Wild West. Eighteen-year-old Kate pursues the Rose Riders gang to avenge her father's murder and retrieve his journal, which contains maps to a gold mine. Kate is a fiercely determined protagonist in a historical adventure that features cold-blooded killing, lawlessness, lively characters, and a touch of romantic intrigue.
