Raveled Ends of Sky

Raveled Ends of Sky is an authentic tale of a woman’s journey across the wild American frontier to find freedom and individuality.

Nancy Maguire, a blue blood from Massachusetts, wants to find her place within the burgeoning society of the mid-nineteenth century. Her parents want her to marry and start a family in the East, but Nancy envisions a freer life in California where her dream of owning a horse ranch can come true.

Following her heart, she locates a group traveling west and joins up with muleskinner Lottie England, a widow from Missouri. With insurmountable integrity, stamina, and willfulness, Nancy, Lottie, and the others face starvation, tragedy, personal obstacles, and war to find the true meaning of freedom and independence.
