About This Book

A young man, wounded by a brother's selfishness and a romantic betrayal, deserts a dusty frontier town and drifts down a treacherous river into an arid wilderness. Alone in the unforgiving landscape he grapples with grief, memories of family, and the lure of alcohol while facing physical danger and moral choices. The narrative pairs vivid depictions of river and desert with episodic adventures and interior reflection, tracing his struggle for independence, survival, and self-understanding amid the isolating, lawless expanses of the wasteland.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unpaired quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unpaired.
