About This Book

A young woman raised on a Colorado ranch discovers she was found as an infant among columbines and learns from her guardian that she is not his child and is expected to marry his returning son. She resists the arranged marriage as the ranch prepares for a fall roundup, and the arrival of a taciturn, enigmatic horseman brings hidden histories and strained loyalties to the surface. The narrative blends vivid frontier scenery and cattle-camp life with themes of identity, inheritance, duty, and the conflict between personal desire and communal expectation.
