Where the Trail Divides

Under an August sun, a terrified man trudges across empty prairie, one hand on his rifle, glancing back at a silence that seems to conceal death. When moonlight finally finds him, he keeps going.

On the Dakota frontier, word of killings sends settlers fleeing for safety. Sam Rowland refuses to abandon his isolated claim, and his wife, Margaret, stands with him: they have lived among the Native people for years and believe they know the risks. But their neighbors are gone, danger is drawing closer, and the quiet prairie offers nowhere to hide. Then a disheveled stranger appears at their door. Have the Rowlands mistaken courage for safety?
