Raveled Ends of Sky is the epic saga of a single woman's 1843 journey across the wild American frontier to pursue her dream in the Mexican Province of California. Nancy Maguire, a 26-year-old spinster and blue blood from Boston, rejects her parents desire for her to accept a "suitable" husband and settle down. She dreams of owning her own horse ranch and being free from the strict social restrictions placed on women in the East.
Following her heart, she tries to join the first wagon train heading to California but quickly learns that even here on the frontier women don't have the same rights and equalities as men. She's told she can't join unless she finds a traveling companion. But Hart Daniels, the scout, is smitten with her. He arranges for her to join up with rough-spoken mule-skinner, Lottie England, a widow who becomes an irreplaceable friend to Nancy.
With great courage, Nancy and her companions face insurmountable obstacles and near-death on the dangerous overland journey, only to have their lives and dreams threatened again as California moves steadily toward war.
