CARRIE
Sixteen-year old Carrie Miller is heading west with the promise that she will soon return home to St. Louis—and to the handsome, prosperous man who has proposed marriage...

Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory--1878
Carrie has come to act as midwife to her aunt, who lives in a remote part of the Wyoming Territory. Young and inexperienced, Carrie is a third generation midwife who has learned by assisting her mother. But now she is on her own, in a wilderness full of dangers, in a land of people driven by visions of gold yet barely clinging to survival. With medical help far beyond reach, Carrie is challenged beyond imagining—to heal, to comfort, and to save lives. Never, in this forsaken place, did she expect to discover the true meaning of love...or to find a man who would fulfill all the dreams this new life awakened.
