Colter's Wife by Joan Johnston

Set in Wyoming Territory, this is the story of Kinyan Holloway of Sioux Indian heritage, who has no idea how she's going to survive when her husband is killed in a range accident. Mother of three, she turns to drifter Colter for help when she decides to run her ranch herself. Has willful Kinyan bitten off more than she can chew? Will Colter be able to help her if he is fighting demons of his own? A good read; interesting to the end. Sandy Penton
