Sadie hoped desperately that Mitch Hepford wouldn't tell his brothers, or anyone else, her terrible secret. It was all his fault anyway! She knew she should forgive him, but she wanted to get revenge. Maybe if she found out more about Mitch's little brother Vard and the mysterious Carla Jean they talked about sometimes...

Sadie's new dilemma, plus run-ins with renegade Indians and a hot-tempered mountain man and much, much more, make for another exciting drama of pioneer life in old Nebraska. A powerful story of courage and forgiveness for 9- to 12-year-olds. Fourth book in the Sadie Rose Adventure Series.
