Innocence lost, innocence regained . . .
When Sarah Merritt arrives in Dakota Territory in 1876, she steps off the dusty Cheyenne stagecoach determined to start this ramshackle gold-rush town's first newspaper. In Deadwood her runaway sister, Addie, is living and working as a domestic help at Mrs Hossiter's - according to her letters, that is.
When Sarah's father dies, she sets up his printing press in the middle of Main Street and immediately finds herself at loggerheads with the self-opinionated Sheriff, Noah Campbell. He arrests her on some trumped-up charge of starting a riot. Not a good beginning . . .
But enemies can be friends in the face of adversity. They become united in a common goal to reclaim Addie from Mrs Hossiter. For Addie is a domestic help in a bordello, and Sarah isn't too happy about the kind of "help" she might be giving . . .
