The main character leaves her home in CA and moves to a remote town in Montana where land is being given to homesteaders. It's a hard life, but she needs to live in seclusion because she carries with her a mysterious trunk, and she can't stay in California.
This is an suspenseful story about women on the frontier, but with a supernatural element. It's about the demons we can't leave behind and what we can do to tame them.
