Oklahoma Territory in the early 1900s: into an area of vast grasslands populated by eager settlers, rich and powerful Indian tribes, freed slaves, and bold opportunists comes Reanna MacLaren, a headstrong beauty from the East. When she discovers the dashing rancher she married is a selfish tyrant, she falls in love with his gentle half-brother. Abandoned on a bankrupt ranch with her infant son, Reanna assumes the traditions and the pioneer spirit of her adopted land, forging an oil empire over the years as she fights to regain her long-lost love--and as Oklahoma finally comes of age with the coming of statehood.
