by Dennis L. Boykin (Author)

Fired from his ranch management job, charged with cattle theft, and evicted from his boyhood home by his emotionally disturbed mother, twenty-seven-year-old Reed Carson finds himself on a lonely mountain lease with his dog and a few head of cattle. He is further alienated from his family and the large Carson ranching empire by his cruel, unstable older brother, who has teamed with an ex-convict hired man to take advantage of Ms. Lucy Carson's mental imbalance to grab ownership of the Carson ranches.

Half-blood Arapahoe Indian, tall and handsome, emotionally bound to his reckless teenage past, Reed becomes a virtual recluse on his small ranch lease. Reed's life is turned around when Butch Morgan, a grizzled mountain man, stumbles onto his cabin during a fierce spring blizzard. Morgan has news of Reed's father, whom Lucy chased off the ranch before Reed's sixth birthday. Morgan is passionate about finding his own long-lost daughter, and when Reed agrees to help, they form an alliance that sparks Reed's spirit to clear his name and regain what is rightfully his.
