About This Book

A newcomer in Denver, Jeffard pursues fortune but slides into financial and moral decline; his encounters with members of a compassionate guild—young women and other volunteers who minister to the city's poor—set up tensions between ambition, social manners, and civic charity. The narrative traces his gradual descent through lost possessions and poor choices while describing the helpers' practical efforts among needy neighborhoods, and it reflects on generosity, communal responsibility, and the possibility of personal renewal through service.
