On his deathbed, he requests that she travel to the Arkansas Territory to notify her grandfather and her uncle of his death. Her mother refuses to give her permission, citing Dulsey's help is needed in caring for the family's 300-acre farm. Determined to honor her father's wishes, Dulsey, accompanied by her best friend, Carla, and the mysterious Harvey Kendall, leave Tennessee and travel on horseback across two states.
