1863, United States of America. In a convoy moving westward in search of a better life, Martha Jane’s father is injured. She is the one who must drive the family wagon and care for the horses. The learning process is tough, yet Martha Jane has never felt so free. And since it is more practical to ride a horse in pants, she doesn’t hesitate to wear them. This proves too daring for Abraham, the leader of the convoy. Accused of theft, Martha is forced to flee. Disguised as a boy and seeking proof of her innocence, she discovers a world under construction where her unique personality will shine through.
