Barrie Travis is a damn good reporter stuck at a low-budget television station when the First Lady calls her. Stunned by the loss of her infant son, the president's wife hints he may have been murdered. Barrie sets out to find the truth, fighting for the exclusive story with the help of Gray Bondurant, a mysterious former presidential aide. But their scoop is about to test her ethics, patriotism and courage. For Barrie unearths White House secrets that, if exposed, could topple the presidency. And now certain powerful parties want nothing more than to see the scandalous past - and a certain young reporter - dead and buried.

Francis Tucket and his adopted family, Lottie and Billy, are heading west in search of Francis's parents on the Oregon Trail. But when winter comes early, Francis turns south to avoid the cold, and leads them right into enemy territory--the Mexican War of 1848. Francis and the children are captured by desperadoes, but loyalty, courage, and the element of surprise offer hope for survival.
