About the title
Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd travels from town to town, sharing news from around the world, along with stories of presidents and queens, great battles and devastating disasters. On the plains of Texas, his path crosses with ten-year-old Johanna, who was kidnapped by the Kiowa and raised for the past six years within the traditions of a Native American community. Kidd agrees to deliver the girl to the home of her aunt and uncle, her only surviving relatives. Crossing hundreds of miles of harsh, wild terrain, the two will face both natural disasters and human cruelty in their search for a place they can call home.
