Set in the time of 1904, Maggie Bennet's life seems perfect. She lives in a wealthy family, has just turned 16, a young boy she hopes to marry, and gets to ride her beloved horse all the time. Then her mother disappears and her life turns upside down. When her father goes broke, he takes her away from the life of luxury to the Yellowstone where he's gotten a job. Though reluctant and angry, she falls in love with a young Tom Rowland despite her father's wishes for her to be with the older Graybull. Maggie must learn to live in the wild Yellowstone, fight the negative views on women at the time, and the expectation of her marrying who her father wants her to and finds who she really is.
