A war-torn past. A dangerous frontier. Two sisters determined to survive.
Medicine Creek Claim: On the Dakota Frontier by CK Van Dam, powerfully narrated by Catherine Divaris and produced and published by Audiobook Publishing Services, is a gripping historical Western audiobook that blends courage, survival, and second chances against the rugged backdrop of the American frontier.
From a two-time Spur Award–winning author-one of the highest honors in American frontier fiction-this compelling story follows sisters Charlotte and Lizzy Ward as their lives are torn apart by the chaos of the Civil War.
Determined to protect her family, Charlotte disguises herself as a Union soldier and follows her brother into battle, risking everything to bring him home. Meanwhile, Lizzy is left behind on their Missouri farm, facing the brutal realities of a divided nation as Bushwhackers and Jayhawkers ravage the countryside in a cycle of violence and revenge.
With their world shattered, the sisters flee to the Dakota Territory, hoping to leave the past behind and rebuild their lives. But on the unforgiving frontier, survival is never guaranteed-and the scars of war are not so easily escaped.
As they carve out new beginnings, each sister discovers strength, purpose, and the possibility of love in a land as harsh as it is beautiful.
Perfect for fans of historical fiction, Western frontier stories, Civil War dramas, and strong female protagonists, Medicine Creek Claim delivers an unforgettable tale of resilience, family bonds, and the enduring spirit of women who refuse to be broken.
Book Three in the acclaimed "On the Dakota Frontier" series, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone who loves epic frontier sagas, emotional storytelling, and powerful journeys of survival and redemption.
