The Search for Freedom: It ain't home, but it will do 'til we get there

By Jim Bottoms

Two young women traveling from Petersburg, Virginia, to Mule Creek, Montana-assignment: collect a fortune in gold to help re-establish a defeated Confederacy. One young man sent from the Rum River Ranch in Minnesota to Sweetwater, Idaho, with the task of receiving a priceless Appaloosa stallion acquired from the Nez Perce Indian Nation and transporting them both safely home. A prospector's cabin in the Bitterroot Mountains of Idaho and a Rocky Mountain boomtown in the dead of winter. What could possibly go wrong? As Rob Blanchard and Annie McBride search for what they have lost, they realize, for the first time, that while in this world we will have trouble, there are also blessings along the trail in The Search for Freedom.
