"A Union veteran several times over, Bobby Hale has repeatedly deserted and reenlisted under different names to earn the enlistment bonus. After the Civil War, he sets his heart on California, but only makes it as far as Montana. Now, after shooting the wrong people, he has to evade not only the U.S. Army but also the native population. Against the growing conflict of the Great Sioux War, Bobby is traveling across the harsh horizon to make it back to Eveline, a poker-playing wagon owner who has taught him that he does not have to spend his life alone. Within miles of the woman he believes can save him, Hale's trigger finger lands him in trouble again, changing the course of his journey and setting him on a heart-stopping adventure across the Great Plains"--From publisher description.
