If there was ever a marriage meant to be, the one between Tate Gallagher and Mattie Bell, the second for each, had to rank near the top for compatibility, especially since there are five children involved. But what happens when the two of them team up to wildcat for crude in an area of 1910 Oklahoma not known to have any of the stinky black stuff? Excitement over the prospects of striking it rich leads to hardship, and hardship leads to disaster. But through it all Mattie manages to hold the family together. This is a suspenseful story of love and eventual triumph against forces that are determined to have them fail. Killer cunningness in this untamed land lends new meaning to the state's moniker; Sooner State - sooner dead than alive.
