Fourteen-year-old Martha Mary Overstreet only dreams of becoming a doctor until she writes an essay about ""women having a say in their own lives, like choosing whether or not to get married or have children"" - and begins to realize that she can have ""a say"" in her own life.

In August 1914, recently orphaned Cooper Harrison arrives in El Paso to live with grandparents she's never met. The minute the fifteen-year-old steps off the train, everything seems wrong. She discovers that her grandfather Luther not only runs a shady concern but also profits from the Mexican Revolution smuggling arms across the border.
