About the book

While traveling cross-country with her mother in 1896, Clara Maher takes in all the sights of the West -- including a wanted poster for the train robber Butch Cassidy. Then Clara and Mama's train is trapped by a snowstorm and a friendly passenger invites them to Thanksgiving dinner with his friends. But Clara has a sneaking suspicion that their "old cowhand" host is really Butch Cassidy, and discovers that hospitality can be found in the most unlikely places.
