In the wild frontier of the 1890s, young Maggie leaves home, chasing freedom and the cowboy life she’s always admired. But her dream turns dark when she marries a violent drunk and is left for dead on the prairie. Rescued and taken to the saloon at Crosskeys Creek, Maggie finds herself surrounded by women working in the town’s brothel. While they entertain clients, she takes up sewing—quietly mending what she can with a silver thimble and trying to stitch her life back together. But honest work won’t save her late husband’s debt-ridden ranch, and Maggie isn’t the only woman facing limited choices. With the other women at the saloon, she hatches a daring plan. Disguised as men, they form an all-female gang and take justice into their own hands—robbing banks and reclaiming their futures. As danger closes in, Maggie must decide how far she’ll go to protect what matters most. The Silver Thimble Gang is a story of survival, found family, and hard-earned freedom in a world that rarely gives women a second chance.
