God's Country

Orphaned at an early age, eleven-year-old Carrie Camden gets adopted and comes to the Rocky Mountains in 1829, where she is once again orphaned by an Indian attack. She is assigned to mountain man Garrett Carter for her care. Wise beyond her years and tough as nails, the devious "bad kid" makes an indelible impression on Jake, Right Hand, Fat, Dan, and the other mountain men. The poor Choteau brothers become the object of her wrath, and pay a never ending price for their duplicitous actions. Not a true sequel, more of a parallel story line. First of several installments. Adult language, some violence, lots of humor.
