  Book I Rebecca:
Wyoming Pioneer Woman
This is the sweeping and epic saga of pioneer sisters caught up in a desperate struggle to be free and to cast their fates against the magnificent background of early Utah and Wyoming where they will become legends.
REBECCA...Beautiful and courageous, she is forced to marry a polygamist and sacrifice even the smallest of her dreams in order to protect her young sister from a similar fate. But Rebecca will never be broken, never be tamed and never give her heart away to a man she cannot love. And she will not let anyone steal away her gift and destiny as a respected frontier medicine woman.
KATIE...She will find a way to save her sister from brutal subjugation and sadness, even if it means risking her life or being forced into polygamy. And she will one day build a sheep raising dynasty in the wilderness of early Wyoming—just to prove that a woman can do it.
Book II Rebecca:
Wyoming Medicine Woman
The West of the mid-1800's is harsh and unforgiving, but Rebecca is strong and unbowed despite being forced to marry a cold and dominating Utah polygamist. To heal herself, she becomes a respected frontier medicine woman then soon falls in love with Dr. Devlin Woodson, a brilliant, aristocratic man tortured by demons even Rebecca's love and devotion cannot exorcise. Desperate to save him, Rebecca accompanies her husband to Washington D.C. only to discover that doctors' wives, even beautiful and intelligent ones, are expected to be seen...not heard. Defiant and determined, Rebecca sails alone to England to attend a prestigious medical college never dreaming that upon her return to America she will be scorned and ridiculed by the all-male eastern medical establishment.
Humiliated and shamed almost out of medicine, Katie reminds her sister that no one in Wyoming cares if it is a man or a woman who saves lives. Filled with renewed hope and promise, Rebecca returns to the West to become both a doctor and a beloved medicine woman.
Based on the stories of real American frontier women, this is the unforgettable saga of valiant Wyoming sisters filled with heroic dreams and the power of their human hearts. -
