"Reality on the Wyoming frontier in the late 1800's has scorched Simon Steele's idealism. He's killed a man he didn't have to, betrayed and driven away his best friend, and seen what's left of his morals reduced to an occasional twinge of conscience. Then his letter to a lost love elicits what he sees as another final rejection. As Simon recognizes the need for new horizons, a Shoshoni Indian tells him of a place in the Idaho Territory where he can find peace and a way to restore his shattered self-esteem."--Back cover.
