In 1885 seventeen-year-old Jessilyn finds herself orphaned on her family's homestead. She cuts
her hair saddles her mare and sets off. Her goal? To find her gun-slinging brother. A
sharpshooter herself Jess's quest lands her in the employ of the territory's governor whose
militia is also hunting Noah - dead or alive. Jess must out-manoeuvre whose who underestimate
her. Told in Jess's voice the story brims with Western action but its approach is modern and
nuanced touching on issues from gender and sexuality to family and identity.
