About this book
California's high Sierra opens this Western novel in a season when snow still crowns the peaks while summer has reached the Sacramento Valley. Jackson Gregory lingers over cedar trunks, an alpine lake and the quiet sound of pine needles before introducing an outdoorsman thoroughly at home in the mountains. His peaceful attention turns to guarded watchfulness when two men carrying rifles appear on the ridge across the water.
The wilderness also shapes the uneasy closeness between Mark King and Gloria. In a camp beside a creek, King tends the fire, washes dishes and cuts fir branches for her bed. Gloria's alarm at a sound in the bushes brings him running, but his attempt to comfort her gives way to a painful misunderstanding. Readers interested in mountain settings and the emotional tensions of frontier fiction will find both here: carefully observed outdoor life and people whose feelings prove harder to read than the terrain.
