Love's Long Journey

Willie finally gets his dream: starting a LaHaye ranch in the Wild West. Several rejects eagerly postulate as ranch-hands. Missie misses teaching desperately, but must concentrate on her pregnancy. They also make friends with nearby Shoshone chief Sharp Claw's band, whose sister married white Sean McClain and provides Missie domestic coaching. Thieving ruffians Trent and Mason's gang also includes orphan Sonny Huff, who saw no alternative to provide for his kid brother Jeff. When Willie's secret cash stash is accidentally betrayed, a violent tragedy proves as inevitable as eventful.
