Is it possible for one little girl to survive against all odds?

Nobody said that pioneer life would be easy- but Rose never could have guessed how difficult it would truly be, or how strong she would have to be to get through it. She had come out West to settle down with her family- but all it did was tear them apart. 

Her mother did not make it to their new home out West, and her father seems more focused on his bottles of alcohol and his grief than on his daughter. But Rose is determined to not just survive, but to turn this new land into a real, true home.

Just when she gets a bit of hope, the whole world seems to come crumbling down atop of her, and Rose suddenly finds herself facing the dangers of settling out West completely alone. She struggles to cope with the realities of pioneer life- opportunities, grief, hope and danger- and finds that there may be even more to this new life than she first thought.

He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey.
