About This Book

Set in the Montana hills, the story follows an elderly woman versed in the borderland between life and death, a solitary man who rescues and raises a starving boy, and other rugged figures whose fortunes hinge on a secret in the hills and the promise of wealth. Through encounters, moral tests, and mischief, themes of duty, loyalty, and the conflict between avarice and affection are explored. Natural disasters and personal reckonings drive characters toward sacrifice, reconciliation, and a final resolution in which endurance and love prevail over past shadowed choices.
