1889. Widowed midwife Maggie Sinclair and her young son flee Chicago's brutal tenements and start a new life with her deceased husband's family in the town of Sage Valley, Utah Territory. Maggie learns to coexist with an eclectic group of townspeople - including Mormons, drunks, sister-wives, and cattlemen. She strives to increase her medical expertise and her financial independence as she delivers babies, sets broken bones, and tries to mend her grieving and anxious heart.

Major David Valentine knows a small group of fierce, freedom-loving allies who would be glad to settle the rich lands. But they're more than 300 miles away, with hostile aliens and vicious human slavers standing between. But even if by some miracle they make it, the Kurian Order isn't about to easily yield the blood-soaked Kentucky soil....
