Embark on a journey of survival alongside Caroline Levings, a fifteen-year-old girl living in 1886 Soledad, California. Growing up fatherless and with a less-than-loving mother, her childhood has been bleak and dreary. But it soon takes a turn when Caroline is taken hostage during the jailbreak of a gang of notorious outlaws, forcing her to use her wits to bargain for her life and bring the criminals to justice. But even if she survives, what does she have to go back to? Now that she has tasted independence, can she ever return to that bleak existence with her Ma? Or will she find a new home where she can overcome a past of hurt and mistrust? Caroline’s perseverance to do the right thing is all that carries her through this heart-wrenching tale of a broken family, vengeful adversaries, and perhaps even an uncertain romance, all of which she must learn to grapple with while simply trying to build a life of her own.
