Publisher's Summary
When Matt Reed returns from Vietnam, eager to get back to the Wyoming family ranch and forget the horrors of war, he finds the ranch stripped of livestock and his father a mere shadow of his former self. Matt's mother is gone, a victim of cancer, and his father has mortgaged the ranch in his effort to save her. The new bank president, Paul Pringle, is a former high school nemesis and the man who married Matt's girlfriend after Matt was sent to a distant and unpopular war. Determined to foreclose - and gain access to the Reed Ranch's rich mineral deposits - Pringle gives Matt a very short time to raise a whole lot of money. How can a broken soldier with no resources possibly save the ranch?
The only way Matt can think of to raise the money is to capture, train, and sell wild mustangs roaming the nearby mountains. He begins this venture only to discover that the horses are grazing on the Crow Indian Reservation.
Desperate, he decides to hunt and capture them anyway, only to be thwarted and punished by his Crow neighbors. Ironically, the same wild horses and the Crow nation will contribute to Matt's ability to save his ranch - in a most unusual way.
