GeorgeA rising baseball star who mysteriously drowns in the river
JackA World War I veteran who abandons his family only to return to reclaim the family ranch
BobThe youngest brother, whose marriage to Helen creates a fault line between him and the rest of his family
BlakeA shrewd, observant man burdened with growing suspicions of Jack’s role in his brother’s death
With breathtaking descriptions of the Montana landscape, Russell Rowland masterfully weaves a fascinating tale of the psychological wars that can rip a family apart…and, ultimately, the redemption that can bring them back together.

Customers say
Customers find the story engaging and well-written. They appreciate the vivid descriptions of life on a ranch in eastern Montana during the early 1900s. The writing style is described as terse and plain, but some readers find it virtuosic. The characters are nicely developed. Many find the emotional content profound and intense, touching a nerve for them. However, opinions differ on the narrative quality – some find it deep and unhurried, while others feel it’s depressing or clumsy.
