About This Book

A city-bred man journeys into mountain country to inspect a contested coal property and is plunged into local feuds and a dangerous encounter that tests his nerve. Facing rifle fire and entrenched honor codes, he confronts his social assumptions, family obligations, and the practical realities of rural life. The narrative follows his interactions with residents, the collision of modern business aims and traditional loyalties, and a sequence of crises and reckonings that force reassessment, compromise, and a measured personal change.
