IDA MAE SCHWEISTAL rides onto the scene with a past and a longing to live life on her own terms. A raging thunderstorm, a horrific stagecoach wreck and a missing federal payroll presents Ida Mae with the chance to end her masquerade as The Big Sandy Kid. Under the guise of a lady gambler she sets out to seduce and marry a handsome scalawag from Fort Smith, the man of her dreams. Life and the quest for true love flows around Ida Mae as lawmen and ruthless scoundrels search for the missing money and The Big Sandy Kid in and around Van Buren and Fort Smith, Arkansas. Ida Mae's dreams are frustrated at the hands of her lover's evil brother and his outlaw band. She flees to Indian Territory with the killers in hot pursuit. Her ride to freedom is long and she almost breaks free from her enemies, but exhaustion and injury force a life and death stand. Fraught for love and self-determination, Ida Mae's reckless ways ultimately spoil her plans. Not in her nature to accept defeat, Ida Mae rises up to face her fate. In Ride to Blue Mountain she travels headlong down a desperate trail of ill-fated romance and deadly gun play.
