In this novel of fathers and sons, old times and new, love, loss, and hope, Danny Kachiah is an Indian fighting not to become a casualty. His own father, Red Shirt, is dead. His wife, Loxie, has left him. And his job as a rodeo cowboy is just about over because, at 34, he just can't take the spills and the knock-around life like he used to. When Danny learns that Loxie has died in a car accident, he sets out to bring home the teenage son he barely knows. Suddenly Danny Kachiah is faced with being a father and with making a life for himself and his son from the dreams of yesterday and the ruins of today's Northwest reservations.
