About this book
Mountain walls enclose Lost Valley, a cattle country whose people follow their own rough rules. At Last's Holding, Tharon Last sings as she works in the kitchen and later plays her mother's old melodeon. Her father, Jim Last, is known for his skill with guns. This peaceful household scene changes when Buck Courtrey approaches Tharon and tries to impose his will. She answers with a fierce defence of her father and their home.
Vingie E. Roe's Western novel sets the valley's natural beauty beside the struggles among its inhabitants. A later conversation with Kenset, a forest man, reveals Tharon's demanding idea of courage and her mistrust of unfamiliar loyalties. Her horse El Rey has carried her clear of Courtrey's riders, and Billy arrives at Kenset's cabin after searching for her. Ranch life, swift riding and strained encounters give readers a close view of a community where personal allegiance shapes each meeting.
