Karen Rutledge, age fourteen, lost her father. He was the only human being she had ever known. Thrown into a world that little resembled the books and magazines of her childhood, she made her way to a valley inhabited by farmers and found a place among them.
But there were others in her world who were not farmers and preyed upon farmers and "Pilgrims." The valley was attacked and successfully defended itself; weakened by their losses, the people of Starvation Creek took stock. Would they be able to rebuild? And what if the marauders returned? Book II of the Starvation Ridge trilogy.
