Sixteen-year-old Kitty Gentry and her family came to Fort Boonesborough to farm the rich land.

There her real life as a founding mother of Kentucky began -- a life in which she would surive tragedy and hearth-wrenching grief and find the all-encompassing passion of great love as the burgeoning territory became a state . . .
