Description:
<DIV><B>This story of a horse trainer and a rich man’s wife is “a gorgeously written, exacting exploration of duty and retribution set in dusty rural South Dakota” (<I>Publishers Weekly</I>).</B><BR /><BR /> When fourteen-year-old Carson Fielding bought his first horse from Magnus Yarborough, it became clear the teenager was a better judge of horses than the rich landowner was of humans. Years later, Carson—now a skilled and respected horse trainer—grudgingly agrees to train Magnus’s horses and teach his wife to ride.<BR /><BR /> But as Carson becomes disaffected with the power-hungry Magnus, he also grows more and more attracted to the rancher’s wife, and their relationship sets off a violent chain of events that unsettles their quiet town in South Dakota. Thrown into the drama are Earl Walks Alone, a Lakota trying to study his way out of the reservation and into college, and Willi, a German exchange student confronting his family’s troubled history.<BR /><BR /> Described by Howard Frank Mosher as “the best western-based fiction I’ve read since <I>Lonesome Dove</I> and <I>Plainsong</I>,” this “compelling” story of love and hatred by the author of <I>Twisted Tree</I> offers “fine characterizations, crisp dialogue and fully realized sense of place” (<I>The Denver Post</I>).<BR /><BR /> “Kent Meyers’s new novel is the kind of book that demands and rewards fierce loyalty. . . . I instantly fell under its spell.” —<I>The Christian Science Monitor</I></DIV>
