What an adventure!! A true western told from a different point of view. I loved Sam and Lucy with all their flaws. I loved the flow of the writing. The prose was both raw and delicate, delightful to read. The book moved fairly quickly and tackled some gruesome topics. I can just picture the rolling golden hills of California. A truly enjoyable read. If anything, it lost half a point for the brief departure into Sweetwater, which lacked the same depth as the rest of the novel.
