Publisher Marketing: Western: Relentless "When John Barnes taught his daughter, Ellie, to ride, little did he know how she would take to the job of a cowgirl. Her love of the countryside around her home takes her to areas where she sees injustice and unfairness to the small Indian tribe whose land borders their own homestead." "Asking questions about why these people are being deprived of land which can sustain their lifestyle, what Ellie has no way of knowing is how these Indians will become a part of her life. Follow the adventure as John Barnes, his daughter and their hired hands attempt to take their cattle to market, unaware of what awaits them in the darkness of their voyage." "In the early 1900s, Montana saw a great deal of disputes between Indian tribes and the settlers. Will John Barnes be able to come to terms with having Indians as neighbours and will Ellie's questions be answered by action?" Western: Relentless Part 2 "The Kootenai tribe that had settled in this part of Montana was well accepted by the people of Coloma in Montana. In fact, the government had insisted on Indians taking on American family names, worried about the question of land ownership." "That worked in their favour when John Barnes decided to enrol one of the Indians into the Wild West show which was making its debut in their community. His daughter, Ellie, had dreamed of one day riding in such an event, though for the time being was happy to observe. Would this Indian, known for his horsemanship, take away the huge purse being offered?" "Would he fail? Ellie and her family follow the events with excitement as the whole town joins in cheering on an obvious winner. There's sadness, there's a certain hostility to be found within the pages of this story, though above all else, one finds an element more precious that existed in that town of settlers - hope for the future fuelled by the lessons learned from the past."
