description: From top ranking historical romance writer Dorothy Garlock comes the first novel in a new trilogy. This is the romantic saga of a courageous widow who forges the Illinois frontier to make a new life. The author is an expert on the pioneer era and she uses actual diaries and letters from that time to authenticate her stories.Her cornsilk hair loose in the wind. Liberty drove her Conestoga wagon as if the devil were after her. She had run away from New York when her Pa demanded she marry Stith Lenning a domineering coward who would use her body and break her spirit. Liberty's response was NEVER...never as long as a land waited in the West where a river ran fast and a woman was free to follow her dreams. But rampaging Indians along the Wabash's deep waters and Stith's relentless pursuit were more than even a feisty beauty could handle. Then guns blazing frontiersman Farr Quill rode into her life. With the same steely strength that had tamed the wilderness he offered Liberty his protection...all he demanded in return as her total surrender.
