Synopsis
School teacher Blanche Bartholomew and dance hall girl Teresa Stark discover an unthinkable love - a love so forbidden that it is outside every reality of their lives.
The year is 1869. The place is the hot, windswept town of Starcross, Texas.
Blanche and Teresa flee together, and attempt the impossible - to cross the Texas prairie in a covered wagon, a venture that proves to be perilous beyond all their imagining. Both women grow in strength and courage, and when the willing but naïve Blanche must fight to protect the woman she loves, she discovers how much strength she truly possesses...
This passionate, earthy love story unfolds with spellbinding adventure, and details life in the old west with breathtaking authenticity. Its setting is no less than the magnificent sweep of our land.

From Publishers Weekly
Aside from its feminist twist, this is a mediocre example of the romance genre. Blanche Irene Bartholomew, overweight and betrothed, is unhappy with her life in the small world of postCivil War Starcross, Tex. Then she meets Teresa, a prostitute at the Blackjack Saloon. They fall in love, and Teresa asks Blanche to leave Starcross with her. On the morning of Blanche's wedding, they escape and must endure a covered wagon trek, attack by Indians and murderous cowboys before settling down with Blanche's lesbian aunt and her companion. There is a strident "us against them" tone here, which, along with the sloppy grammar and caricatures, cheapens what could otherwise have been an interesting story.
