Lord and Lady Berrybender have abandoned their palatial home in England to explore the frontier and to broaden the horizons <strong>ofstrong> their children, who include Tasmin, a budding young woman <strong>ofstrong> grit, beauty, and determination, her vivacious and difficult sister, and her brother. As they journey by rough stages up the Missouri River, they meet with all the dangers, difficulties, temptations, and awesome natural scenery <strong>ofstrong> the untamed West, as well as a cast <strong>ofstrong> characters that includes Indians, pioneers, mountain men, and explorers (both historical and imaginary), and with as many adventures. At the <strong>verystrong> core <strong>ofstrong> the story is Tasmin's fast developing relationship with Jim Snow, frontiersman, ferocious Indian fighter, and part-time preacher (known up and down the Missouri as "the Sin Killer"). The strong, handsome, silent westerner eventually captures her heart, despite the fact that they are two intensely strong-willed people, from <strong>verystrong> different backgrounds.
