Cat, a former prostitute turned justice seeker, finds herself in Butte, Montana with its biting-cold, smoke-filled air. The trains rumbling through, the same dark menace hanging close. And while most folk still look at Cat with scorn—her blue jeans, cowboy hat, and empty holster—others see in her something else altogether.
Hope.
Especially for mothers like Evie Blonberg who discover her husband gone and a notice from him in the paper. And just like that, Evie's whole world... destroyed. No hope for employment. No chance for her future or her children's.
No one to turn to, but Cat.
A take-no-prisoners historical mystery about family, hope, and redemption—and the strong women willing to fight for it.
