Lahoma

A frontier tale that follows Brick Willock, a resourceful man who fashions a hidden mountain refuge after a violent wagon attack, and intertwines with episodes of banditry, a captive named Gledware, and a sleeping child whose fate provokes moral debate among outlaws. The narrative traces survival, improvisation, and encounters within a rugged landscape as the protagonist explores a sheltered cove, adapts to solitude, and confronts external threats including mobs and posses. Interwoven chapters examine community ties, budding romance, personal transformation, and contested possessions as characters negotiate lawlessness, social reintegration, and the stakes of honor and habit.
