A novel by

 
 
On the wide Nebraska prairie, in the last years of the nineteenth century, Cora Callaway builds a life out of grit, invention, and defiance. When tragedy strikes and her family’s land is threatened by violence, Cora’s fight for justice sets in motion a legacy that will echo for generations. Her journals—kept faithfully across her life—become the secret record of a woman who shaped her world with her own hands
.
More than a century later,
Elodie Callaway returns home reluctantly, determined to sell the land her ancestors fought to keep. But as she reads Cora’s journals, Elodie discovers a story she never knew she was part of—one filled with hidden truths, buried grief, and a mystery her father hinted at before he died. The deeper she reads, the more she realizes that the land she planned to leave behind may hold the very answer he wanted her to find.

Across two timelines—one forged in frontier fire, one unfolding in the modern world—
family, land, and legacy intertwine. As Elodie confronts the myth of Cora Callaway, she must decide whether she is ready to inherit the truth of who she is… and who she has always been.

A sweeping American epic about inheritance, identity, and the stories that refuse to stay buried.
