Two young girls, Maggie and Loralei Holmes, are forced apart at ages ten and eight, respectively, when their parents are killed on a wagon train. Going opposite directions, with different families, they make a pact to meet in Idaho. The book tells of each sister's journey to try and re-connect with her sister, ten years later, while also giving some insight into the life each one had with the families that had taken them in. Each young woman winds up with a man to help them along the way, Loralei is assisted by a lawyer, Sam McDonald, who is seeking a gambler, Ty Bancroft. Maggie basically latches on to Ty Bancroft when she discovers a necklace in his possession, one that she recognizes as having belonged to Loralei when they parted. She refuses to let him out of her sight(even to the point of camping outside the door to his hotel room) and he tells her he doesn't remember where he was when he won the necklace in a card game. But that is not exactly the truth. An interesting book although I found Maggie's journey far more interesting of the two.
