When fourteen-year-old Carson Fielding bought his first horse
from Magnus Yarborough, it became clear that the teenager was a
better judge of horses than the rich landowner was of humans. Years
later, Carson, now a skilled and respected horse trainer,
grudgingly agrees to train Magnus's horses and teach his wife to
ride. But as Carson becomes disaffected with the power-hungry
Magnus, he also grows more and more attracted to the rancher's
wife, and their relationship sets off a violent chain of events
that unsettles their quiet reservation border town in South Dakota.
Thrown into the drama are Earl Walks Alone, an Indian trying to
study his way out of the reservation and into college, and Willi, a
German exchange student confronting his family's troubled history.
In this unforgettable story of horses, love, and life, Carson and
the entire ensemble of characters learn, in very different ways,
about the strong bonds that connect people to each other and to the
land on which they live.
