What’s not to like about a western story where a young man lives by a high moral code no matter the cost? In the story, Perley Gates is a young man who doesn’t brag, draw attention to himself, but helps those who need him. Perley is on a cattle drive with his brothers when they cross paths with a woman, a baby, and an older man driving a wagon. Emma is the young woman with a baby, recently widowed and running scared. Possum is the man driving the wagon for Emma as he knew her husband and knows her past. Possum has committed himself to get Emma and the baby settled before moving on. The problem with his plan is the numerous trials and hardships these two folks keep running up against. Perely is willing to help but what he doesn’t expect is those dead set against Emma or Possum reaching their destination in one piece.

I enjoy a good story that is set in the old west and while life seems to have trials, together people overcome them. Emma is my favorite female character as she has a wee babe to raise, no certain plans for the future other than running, and getting somewhere she can set down roots. The action, tension and climax make for a very enjoyable couple of hours to be lost in a tale where good overcomes evil.

Perley is a rare man in the tale, and his code of conduct makes for some interesting conversations with other players in the novel. There are many more adventures with Perley Gates you’ll want to enjoy if you haven’t already. Once again, the Johnstones haven’t let readers down as they bring exciting stories to fans everywhere!
