From three-time Spur Award-winner Richard S. Wheeler comes a rich and realistic novel of the Old West...

Truman Jackson and his family are a pillar of the frontier town of Cottonwood, Utah. But no one knows much about the Jacksons. No one is able to find out where they came from, or what they did.

Because Truman Jackson and his wife Gracie have been hiding their outlaw roots-and their criminal deeds-for the past seventeen years. To become whole once again, Truman is ready to confess his sins-even if it turns his family, friends, and an entire town against him....
