Instantly engrossing - this tale of the old American West is told through the eyes of a 31 year old Black women who is fleeing from her home in California. All she has with her is a small handbag and an enormous steamer trunk that she never ever opens. It's 1915 when she arrives in Montana and she lays claim to a small secluded spot of land high in the hills and miles from other people. The landscape, the weather, and the people are immediately harsher than Adelaide anticipated - but luckily for her she befriends a lone widow woman and her son. When the going gets tough, really tough - they might have to depend on the horrors that lurk in Adelaide's steamer trunk. Part historical, all horror - this book grabs you from the get go!
