Minnie, thirteen, Robert, eleven, and Lizzie, eight, lost their parents in an influenza epidemic in the winter of 1878. After the kids are taken to live with their mean uncle, they are worked, whipped, starved and tricked. When their personal and family belongings are stolen, they run away with their dog Bullet to find another uncle in the Territory of New Mexico.
