The wagon train ride from Missouri to Kansas territory is rife with perils. But there are bigger obstacles for Dr.Victoria Fenway than cholera or creek floods. Years ago, she and wagon-train captain Joseph Rickard were deeply in love. Now, Victoria is tracking the man who killed her late husband, and she is determined to continue his work rescuing slaves.
