Description
The Poacher's Daughter, a story of betrayal and redemption, is set within an uncompromising landscape of raw brutality and unimaginable beauty. In 1885, young Rose Edwards is widowed by Montana vigilantes who hang her husband for an alleged theft, then burn her Yellowstone Valley cabin to the ground as a warning for her and other small-time ranchers to quit the territory. Penniless and illiterate, yet fiercely independent, Rose begins a two-year odyssey to revisit the lands she travelled with her father, an itinerant buffalo robe trader among the Assiniboines and Blackfeet. She finds herself a reluctant hero in an ageless battle as she stubbornly pushes back against the wealthy cattlemen who want all of the grazing land in the West for their huge herds.
