After a lot of thought and prayer, Sister Mary Francis has decided to leave the convent and start a new life. Deciding to travel west to visit her sister and find a job as a teacher, Mary learns that her friend, Ryder McKay, has been sentenced to hang for a crime he didn't commit. When Mary visits him at the jail, she is taken hostage during his daring escape. Soon they are running for their lives through rugged Indian territory.

This is the last book in Goodman's Dennehy Sisters series. I was looking forward to this story because throughout the series we really didn't learn too much about Mary Francis. I have to say I was thoroughly bored with the first 100 pages of this book. The story did finally get more interesting, only to once again leave me bored in the last quarter. Too many descriptions for me. I think a 100 pages could easily been edited out of this story. My rating: 3 Stars.
