Set in 1871 Utah, the story centers on Jane Withersteen, a defiant Mormon woman who rejects an unwanted marriage proposal, leading to her persecution by the community. As she befriends cowboy Bern Venters, tensions rise, especially with the arrival of Lassiter, a stranger seeking revenge for his sister's murder. The novel intricately weaves themes of love, defiance, and vengeance against the backdrop of the Mormon settlement, establishing a foundation for Western fiction. This edition features illustrations by W. Herbert Dunton.
