Fury Before the Dawn

Laurie Mitchell, a young, beautiful schoolteacher with shoulder-length light brown hair, deep brown eyes and creamy white skin, struggles to control her class in Danbury, Nebraska in the late 1800s.
After marauding outlaws from Oklahoma kill her parents, her brother and abduct her two younger sisters, she mourns her losses and tries to deal with her grief. Finally, she figures the only way she will be able to survive is to capture the outlaws one at a time and collect the reward. She plans to use the reward to rebuild her farm. Learning that the outlaws have her sisters, she decides to go after them. With a neighbor and friend, Jed Collins, who loves her and hopes to marry her at a future date, she tracks the outlaws. Her uncle, Ben Coleman, has taken a posse out to chase the outlaws warning her to leave it up to the law. Laurie ignores his advice and asks Jed to teach her everything he knows about shooting. Jed is worried when he sees the anger in her eyes, senses the hate and hostility in her heart and knows she is changing. Jed's father was a noted gunfighter before he finally settled down and became a farmer. With fury and anger in her heart Laurie sets out to right the wrongs done to her and her family before the rage consumes her.
