This was another book written during the time Bower was involved with Hollywood. The story revolves around a Sioux woman who has been acting in the movies our friends of The Happy Family have been making.

But the story felt patched together instead of smooth: Annie-Many-Ponies has known the director since she was a child, she gets jealous when Jean shows up, she does a dangerous stunt to prove she is braver than the other actress, a bank robbery is needed for the movie, Mexicans are the bad guys, there is a 'remake' of the bank robbery scene, then a cross country chase by all the cowboys into the Navajo reservation, the Navajo are now the bad guys, and eventually we have a dramatic and somewhat unexpected ending scene.
Autorenporträt
Margaret Muzzy American author Sinclair of Sinclair-Cowan, née Muzzy (November 15, 1871 - July 23, 1940), better known by the pen name B. M. Bower specialized in producing works of fiction about the American Old West. Her works, which depict cowboys and cows from the Montana Flying U Ranch, showed "an interest in ranch life, the use of working cowboys as main characters (even in romantic plots), the occasional appearance of eastern types for contrast, a sense of the western landscape as both harsh and grand, and a good deal of factual attention to such matters as cattle branding and bronc busting." She married three men: Bertrand William Sinclair, a Western author, in 1905; Clayton Bower in 1890; and Robert Elsworth Cowan in 1921. But she decided to go by Bower when she published.
