Our protagonists search for scientific answers in abandoned mines, natural caves, and high-tech labs while exploring their own romance among the scenic beauty of the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Sara is a strong, independent, farm girl who can drive a tractor, back a manure spreader, weld a wagon tongue, or program a high-tech, 3-dimensional computer-driven display of the solar system.
Jared is a capable young engineer whose interests range from underground caves to the surface of the sun and include a love of nature, his beloved dog Bella, and now Sara.
