Prosper Worthington is a decorated war hero, a convicted felon, and the ex-cellmate and road companion of his best friend, Jack Winston. Different as two men can be, Prosper is rough, hot-headed, focused, and driven. He’s also had more than enough of Jack’s spur-of-the-moment decisions, faulty reasoning, and Peter Pan-like existence.

Magaskawee Whitefeather is living in desperate poverty on a Lakota Sioux Reservation in the Badlands of South Dakota. She sleeps on the tin roof of a decrepit, over-crowded housing unit, sells beautiful, handmade jewelry by the side of the road, and dreams of a chance at a better life in faraway places.
On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, she is given that chance the moment she hops on the back of Jack Winston’s bike.
When Prosper looks at Maggie’s shining eyes, gentle smile and graceful beauty he sees just another one of Jack’s very bad ideas.
Until fate steps in and proves she is far from that.
Set against a backdrop that spans decades, this is the story of three very different people who struggle to find their place in this world. It is a tale of deep yearning, unmitigated joy, and immeasurable heartache. Sometimes, the most beautiful stories are the hardest to take—
This is Prosper’s story.
