Grace Harlowe's Overland Riders on the Great American Desert

Grace Harlowe has already survived war. Now she wants the desert. In this rip-roaring early 20th-century adventure, Grace, a former ambulance driver in France, convinces her worried husband Tom to let her join the Overland Riders on a perilous journey across the Great American Desert. With her sharp tongue and sharper instincts, Grace leads a party of adventurous women into a landscape of stunning danger: untamed ponies, roving cowboys, and the crushing silence of the cactus-studded wilderness. Their guide is the enigmatic Hi Lang. Their mounts are half-wild. And their nerve will be tested by more than just the blazing sun and barren miles. Grace announces her intentions from the start by choosing the notorious "outlaw" pony no one else will ride. This is adventure fiction written for readers who want to see women refuse to stay safely at home. The dialogue crackles with wit, the stakes are real, and the friendship among the Riders fuels every chapter.
