Josie Red Sky and the Quest for the Canadian Border On the wild, untamed plains of 1880s America, two young women - Josie Red Sky, a mixed-race Cheyenne, and Jessie, a teenage Black girl - flee after a violent altercation in the town of Carthage, Missouri. Pursued by the law and haunted by the past, they ride north-west, learning to manage both racism and prejudice whilst making new discoveries about how to live a better life. From Missouri to Montana and on up to the Canadian border, their journey will test not only their courage but their beliefs - about who they are, and what it means to live a responsible life with integrity in an often difficult world. Where survival demands strength, intellect and the ability to communicate, they discover the deeper truth: that freedom begins within. Beyond the Deep Blue Horizon is a story of courage, friendship and what it means to live a responsible life. This gripping prequel to Ghost Wind (due out in the summer of 2026) tells the story of resilience, determination, and the unbreakable will to carve a new life in the face of overwhelming odds. Join Josie and Jessie as they navigate a dangerous and unforgiving world, where every decision could be the difference between life and death.
