Set in Texas near the end of the Civil War, this Western packs plenty of surprises.Judith Williams has been left behind by her husband in a ruined ranch to fend for her three children and her sick father. The Indians demand that she leave or face death. To save her family, Judith makes the treacherous journey from Central Texas to San Antonio.Loading her children and father into a broken-down wagon, the family begins their odyssey. Judith believes her husband is dead but doesn’t know for certain. On the road, they meet Hobart Ross, an old friend returning from the Civil War who has come to see to his father, only to find that Ross’ father has died.They decide to all journey together to San Antonio. But with the war winding down, they must leave Texas quickly to avoid the aftermath of battle. Judith’s father finally succumbs to his illness, and after his funeral, Judith also falls ill from a fever. Hobart marries Judith as soon as she begins to recover and they leave for New Orleans, intending to travel to Georgia, to see about other family members living there.What they discover in Georgia shakes the foundation of their marriage.
