The Soiled Dove Sagas

Mattie Wallace is rejected by her family and her community when she refuses to marry one brother - because, she loves the other. Labeled a trollop and run out of town, she finds herself on the road with meager possessions and little money. Soon, Mattie meets Roxana: a woman in the trade. Mattie is impressed with Roxie's confidence, independence, her lovely wardrobe, and also with the fact that Roxie has made herself a life that is not dictated by a man.

Times are changing around Roxie and Mattie. The two are barely surviving the bitter winters in the unforgiving American frontier. With Mattie's help, Roxie is moving forward and putting her life together, piece by piece. But just as Roxie settles back into her life in the Trade, her past returns, opening wounds she doesn’t know how to close. Losing her heart once almost broke her. Will she be strong enough to keep it from happening again?
