In 1885 seventeen-year-old Jessilyn finds herself orphaned on her family´s homestead. She cuts her hair, saddles her mare, and sets off. Her goal? To find her gun-slinging brother. A sharpshooter herself, Jess´s quest lands her in the employ of the territory´s governor, whose militia is also hunting Noah - dead or alive. Jess must out-manoeuvre whose who underestimate her. Told in Jess´s voice, the story brims with Western action, but its approach is modern and nuanced, touching on issues from gender and sexuality to family and identity.
