When the Duttons rescue Tate from the neo-Nazi militia, they discover another child in the darkness-a six-year-old girl named Sadie. Hurt, abandoned, and carrying scars too deep for words, Sadie doesn't trust anyone. But Tate refuses to leave her behind. Brought to the Yellowstone ranch, she finds herself surrounded by a family she never knew could exist-one full of fierce love, sharp tempers, and unbreakable loyalty.
As John, Kayce, Monica, Beth, and Rip each step in to protect her, Sadie must learn how to live in a world where safety is real and love doesn't hurt. But shadows don't fade easily... and the past has a way of following.
