Amelia Bower is just trying to survive. With a gunslinging father, whose face can be found on a 'Wanted Dead or Alive' poster at any local sheriffs office, life isn't all it cracks up to be. Her father left her and her mother to fight in the Civil War. He was apart of the confederacy, and was renowned for his ability with a gun. He was a fearsome soldier, earning ranks it seemed with every passing day. 

Now, he was an outlaw, his face plastered all over the saloons and information boards at the sheriffs offices. When three bounty hunters from Missouri ride up to Amelia and her Mama's ranch, their lives are thrown even deeper into a mess than it already had been.All Rights Reserved
