Overview
Elrica Jane Davis is embarking on a daunting solitary journey from Caddo Gap through the mountains that make up the wilderness that is western Arkansas in 1858. This will be a dangerous trip for a young woman with just her dog and mule for protection. The premature death of her mother and the matrimonial intentions of the bootlegging outlaw Oscar James leave Jane little choice. Unknown to Jane, Sebastian County Deputy Sheriff Richard Drake has been sent by Jane's uncle to escort her to Fort Smith. Unfortunately, he is shot and wounded by the outlaw gang who believe he is the one who destroyed their moonshine still. Richard is bleeding profusely, but manages to elude the bumbling outlaw gang before sliding from his horse. Jane's spiritual upbringing will not allow her to abandon Richard when she finds him lying unconscious on the trail. Together, they learn respect for each other and the skills each brings to the adventures, challenges and dangers they encounter on their unexpected journey.
