But when</span><br><span>they cross paths with a band of cowboys, the light-hearted troupe turn</span><br><span>out to be unexpected allies. With the law closing in on them and new</span><br><span>setbacks coming each day, the girls quickly learn that there are not</span><br><span>many places to hide on the open trail.</span><br><br><i><span>An unforgettable story of friendship and sacrifice--perfect for fans of</span><br><span>Code Name Verity.</span></i></div>
