Together with a group of hardy pioneers, they settle along the banks of the Big Sandy River in Kentucky.

Jonse forms new friendships, and despite the hardships and dangers, grows to love the rugged frontier country. When disaster strikes, threatening all they have worked so hard to create, Jonse must take on the responsibilities of manhood. Determined to save their homestead, Jonse faces a challenge greater than any before."… (altro)
