Kathleen (Katy) MacPherson Sullivan grew up in a loving home and learned healing from her Grandfather Sullivan and her Granny MacPherson. Unfortunately, her grandfather passed away, and her granny moved to Kansas with several others of the MacPherson clan. After Katy’s beloved father died, her grieving mother made a horrible mistake and married a man who had been jealous of her husband for many years. The first thing the man did was sent Katy, along with two of her sisters and her brother, to live far away with their new step-uncle. The reason they were sent away was simple. They all had red hair like their father. The younger ones had brown hair like their mother and were allowed to stay.
For several years, Katy, her sisters, and her brother lived under the man’s brutal hand as nothing more than unpaid, abused servants. The man even had Katy’s brother sent to prison on trumped up charges.
The step-uncle’s mother helped the sisters escape, and they set out on a journey filled with danger as they traveled across country in a wagon train. The only thing worse than the dangers on the trail was the horrible fear of the step-uncle who was hunting them. The reason he’s hunting them–they took his greatest treasure. He will kill to get it back into his possession, as he had already done once before.
