"You know, I've been hearing some stories about you," Greer says.
"What do you mean?"
"That you're a bit of a liar."

It is 1951 and Lois Saunders arrives at the Golden Yarrow divorce ranch in Nevada, fleeing her suffocating marriage. Here women from different backgrounds live together for the six weeks it will take to earn their freedom, spending their days riding horses and their nights flirting with cowboys. It's as wild and fun as Lois's former home was prim and stifling, but it isn't until Greer Lang arrives that her world truly cracks open . . .

Gorgeous, beguiling, and outspoken, Greer is unlike anyone Lois has ever met - and she sees something in Lois that no one else ever has. Soon, under her influence, Lois begins to push against the limits that have always restrained her.


But how much can Lois really trust her new friend? And how far will she go to forge her independence, on her own terms?
