Josephine Nordegren and her two sisters grew up nearly wild in southwestern Colorado. Jo has the archery skills of Robin Hood and a curiosity about the forbidden outside world -- a world she's been led to believe killed her parents. When rancher David Warden brings a herd near the girls' secret home, Jo is too interested to stay away. David's parents soon follow, escaping bandits at their ranch. David's father is wounded and needs shelter, and Jo and her sisters have the only cabin on the mountain. Do they risk stepping into the world to help those in need? Or do they remain separated but safe in the peaks of Hope Mountain?
