About This Book

A newly installed woman owner attempts to run a remote ranch, weighing whom to retain and earning the reluctant loyalty of a hot-tempered hand. Daily life on the range mixes labor, courtship, and neighborly rivalries while disputes over honor, treatment of animals, and past grievances simmer among men. Skirmishes, betrayals, and a frame-up intensify tensions, prompting departures, moral reckonings, and strategic maneuvers by clergy and ranchers. The escalating personal and physical conflicts build to a final, violent confrontation that settles loyalties and alters the community's future.
