After fulfilling ten years of servitude to the malicious Lafayette Breaux, Maria flees to New Orleans. Rescued from drowning by Hank Shroeder, a Mormon, she joins his group and they grow closer. But the malicious Breaux will stop at nothing to reclaim Maria as his own, and relentlessly tracks her--even as she treks West with her fellow Saints. Will she be able to escape her tormentor and find peace when she reaches her promised land?
