Book Description

Beautiful preteen twins Rachel and Janie Lemon are desperate to avoid the fate of their older sister Mary, who at thirteen was forced to marry the polygamous Prophet of Sheba Hill.

Their determination leads to an aborted escape attempt, and the cult leader sends the girls to a retraining center deep in Montana's Bitterroot Mountains. Justin Patrick, an openly rebellious twelve-year-old boy who has been dragged into the cult by his aunt, is sent along with them.

Justin and the twins plan an escape in mid-winter through the Bitterroots. Justin's father and uncle (who were both killed in an avalanche) trained him as a survivalist, and he assures the girls that the Bitterroots are not as dangerous as the Alaskan wilderness where he grew up.

Their adventures in the mountains include searches for food, shelter, water, and warmth—all the while looking over their shoulders for the pursuing cult members.

As they race for freedom, they are fully aware that capture means certain death for Justin and death or brutal enslavement for the twins.
