It was a moonless icy winter night when a violent accident on a lonely New England country road left lovely young Alison Collier lying senseless by her overturned carriage. When she awoke in the grim mansion of Barringer House, a tall powerful man stood by her bedside. He was a doctor, he said. He would take care of her until she was well enough to leave. Alison shivered at the man's voice, but that shivering would have turned into a scream had she known what satanic experiments this man pursued, and the fate that he intended for her. . . .
Margaret, a 17th century aristocrat, is traveling up the Hudson when disaster strikes, and she is catapulted into the world of the Oneidas, where her ship is attacked by Mohawks. They kill everyone except Margaret, who escapes and is found by a Oneidan hunting party. To them the white woman is Ataentsic--the Iroquois spirit called the Woman Who Fell From the Sky.
Jenny Sanders Pryor, brash, impetuous, optimistic, nineteen, and married only seven months, embarked with her husband John, and their adopted seven-year-old child on what they thought would be a wonderful adventure: joining a wagon train along the Oregon Trail. Jenny and John were young and in love and eager to begin their new life together. And then it happened. The massacre lasted only a few minutes. Nearly all of the wagon train's men were out cutting wood, many of them without weapons, and suddenly, two hundred brutal Oglala warriors thundered into the camp. The men were forced to watch the rape and murder of their women and children. Captured, nearly beaten to death, and forced to succumb to slavery, Jenny Sanders Pryor endures a "marriage" to one of the Oglala's savage chieftains. But every minute of her captivity, she plans her escape, while John does everything in his power to find her. Even though there is precious little chance they'll ever see each other alive again. . .
When pioneering female doctor Amelia Dale Archer is passed over for the position of chief of staff at Philadelphia Hospital, she sets out west on a wagon train in 1857 so she can practice medicine on equal terms with men.
