Description
"A promising debut: rich in local color and uncontrived dialogue, with a plot that moves like a mountain stream."--Kirkus "An impressive first novel, which balances vivid, meticulous outdoor writing with fine characterization ... the novel stands out for its graceful, lovely evocation of the outdoors and as a chronicle of the struggle for control of a rare plot of Western wilderness."--PW "The ending of Marshall Tate's tale is beautifully crafted and bittersweet ... His second novel is hoped for. It ought to be a dandy."--The Toledo Blade (circ. 176,823) "A vivide package of emotions in strong color ... The moods, inspired by the waters, move magically like a stream, taking the reader through the author's love for Montana's landscape and rivers."--Montana Quarterly "Various passages of this novel remind one of John Steinbeck's style...a fine new writer..."--Big Sky Journal
