Rev. Justin Wells is on his way via horse to Rocky Creek, Texas, as the new pastor. He was forced to leave his last church in Boston and now he is starting to doubt his faith. In Missouri, he meets a redheaded woman in handcuffs with a dying US Marshal lying nearby. Justin and Sarah try to save the Marshal, but he asks Wells to take his prisoner to Texas to meet her day with the rope. Shocked, Wells promises. After Sarah and the reverend try to save his life, the Marshal still dies.

This is a different type of Western story. On their journey, the couple finds an orphaned baby near starvation. After burying the child's family and a dead Indian, they continue their travels. There is humor, drama, problems, and a justice system eager to put an end to Sarah Prescott. Overall score = 4.5 stars.
