In 1845 an enterprising Philadelphia publisher decides to send a beautiful female journalist, disguised as a schoolteacher, to the Mormon city of Nauvoo on the Mississippi River. He hopes she will lure the Mormon polygamists out of hiding and get the real story that has evaded male journalists too long. Caroline Logan accepts the assignment with dreams of riches and fame as a best-selling author.
Caroline refuses to be distracted from her goal, even when she finds herself falling in love with the daring Dan Storm, former mountain man now guard at the Nauvoo Temple construction site.
Caroline rejects her feelings for Dan, even when an unexpected clash between Boggs and Storm results in Caroline and Dan becoming stranded on a deserted Mississippi River island. She refuses to be drawn into a romance that would interfere with her book project.
Blackmail from Boggs, a slave revolt in a Mexican gold mine, a vicious dog, a surprise Indian raid, an unexpected death, a midnight buffalo stampede, an unorthodox Mormon bishop, and an early winter storm on the continental divide bring this novel to an unexpected conclusion.
