About this book
Steve Packard rides back into the pine-covered mountains after time abroad, drawn by memories of the country he knew as a boy. He has heard of his father's death and financial losses, but approaches the family ranches with eager anticipation. Beside a lake, a glimpse of a blue cloak leads him into a mistaken rescue and an angry exchange on shore. Jackson Gregory gives this Western novel an opening built around impulsive action, wounded pride and the pleasures of familiar woodland trails.
In the cattle country around Red Creek, Steve's quarrels with Blenham and Joe Woods become town gossip, while his grandfather takes a close interest in reports of his conduct. Terry's cool response to Steve adds friction to his dealings with the Temples. The appeal lies in how personal reputation travels through a ranching community, with family expectations and sharp exchanges woven into fights, riding and trouble at a logging camp.
