Described by James Dobson as "America's Keeper of the Story," Joe Wheeler has been collecting short stories from numerous sources for many years. In this compilation of twelve short stories, compiler/editor Joe Wheeler captures the physical challenges and character-building choices of horse-loving girls from an older era, including Maggie, who is home alone with a band of outlaw raiders headed her way. Does she dare try to escape on her pony, Kit, in the midst of a fierce storm, across the Missouri River, with great sections of ice threatening to break loose?.
