Publisher's summary

A 2022 Western Writers of America Spur Award Finalist for Best Traditional Western Novel.

Out of nowhere Comanches attack, and sixteen year-old Jane narrowly survives the slaughter of her family and the kidnapping of her baby sister. Driven by grief and fury, she rides headlong into Indian territory, seeking vengeance.

But the odds are stacked against a young girl on the trail, and Jane soon realizes she must disguise herself as a boy to join forces with a tough company of cowhands on a cattle drive to Dodge City.

The harrowing trek pits her against tough drovers, raging rivers, ruthless soldiers, and ends in a bloody reckoning that forces Jane to discover her surprising capacity for love, survival—and revenge.

It was great, but sad!!! I

I appreciate how the story told different points of view. It is terrible how the different groups of people treated each other!

Interesting listen

This audio book kept my attention throughout. It was hard to put down. My only complaint was that it was a bit to long with unnecessary additions

A great western story

I loved this book so very much. An outstanding performance by Julia Whelan, every character has their own voice. The story itself was well told and heartbreakingly real, a wonderful glimpse of a world gone forever. The Kid was written so very well it was hard to believe she was created by a man.

This story has the heart and soul of a great western adventure. So beautifully written that you can’t help but fall in love with the characters. Julia Whelan’s narration was perfection as usual. Can’t wait for Book 2!

The western genre doesn’t get better than this

One of my favorite books, beautifully read. Believable characters that you care about in intense but credible situations. Exciting, dramatic, sweet and poignant. You’ll laugh and cry and be amazed.

Good from the beginning…

Julia Whalen is one of my favorite narrators and she did not disappoint with this book. I was immediately pulled into the story. I often listen while I drive and there were many times that I was so immersed in the story that I had no idea where I was going! I love historical fiction because my interests always gets peaked about the true events that happened during that time. Can’t wait to read the next book!
