On the 1850s frontier, some brave women's hearts and minds were broken by bitter hardship. A "homesman" must escort a handful of them back East to a sanitarium, and the job falls to the indomitable and resourceful Mary Bee Cuddy. She knows she cannot succeed alone, but the only companion Mary Bee can find is low-life claim jumper George Briggs. Thus begins a trek against the tide of colonization, hardship, Indian attacks, ice storms, and loneliness.
