Vengeance! Fifteen year old Ruth swore that she would kill the five outlaws who had left her destitute--no home, no family, no food, no money and no future.
After trailing the outlaws for six years, as the last one lay dying on his deathbed, she learns of yet another one, the 'boss', of whose identity she is ignorant. Determined to complete her revenge, Ruth works to ferret out this mastermind, careful to not expose herself, yet ultimately set on killing him without dying herself.
Set in the Wild West in 1872, Smoked is seen through the eyes of a young woman's rebellion against the harsh injustices of a man's world--a lawless world in which the strongest survive--where the struggle for living at any cost is a priority.
