The time is 1868, and a treaty between the American Government and the Sioux Nation threatens the long-established home of settlers in the Bighorn Mountains. A beautiful woman with dark hair and eyes, Annie Laurie, is ardently in love with Gray Wehr. Unfortunately, he is no perfect love. The man is flawed-all are. Loving him is senseless, painful, frustrating, but she'd have it no other way. Wehr's insatiable wanderlust has repeatedly pulled him out of his valley home, where an unsought gun reputation haunts his life. Although having come home, ostensibly to stay, he gives in to Annie and agrees to take her, his two years younger sister, and four friends on an arduous journey to Fort Laramie and back home. An odd group of townsfolk will fight to save their home. Crossing the Crazy Woman is a novel of the human spirit, freedom, and of life and death.
