Set against the backdrop of the brutal Mountain Meadows Massacre, this novel follows three women—Lucy, Katrina, and Sally—whose lives are entangled in tragedy, survival, and impossible choices. Each woman’s story is raw and powerful, showing the brutal realities of the past and the strength it took to endure. The amount of research and heart poured into this book is evident on every page, making it both an immersive historical fiction and a chilling true-crime-inspired tale.

I couldn’t put this book down. It transported me to a time when survival was uncertain, making me grateful for the world we live in today.
