T. Greenwood, acclaimed writer of Two Streams and The Hungry Season, crafts a moving, lyrical storyline of damage, atonement, and claims maintained. One November day, Ben Bailey walks away of his Flagstaff, Az, home to get the newspaper. Instead, he sees Ricky Begay, a Navajo man, beaten and dying in the recently fallen snow. Struggling to forget the incident, especially once he fits Ricky's sister, Shadi, Ben starts to question everything, from his job as a part-time history teacher to his fianceé, Sara. When Ben first fulfilled Sara, he was mesmerized by her optimism and easy self-confidence. These days, their romance only reinforces a loneliness that stretches back again to his fractured child years. Ben decides to find the reality about Ricky's fatality, both for Shadi's sake and in hopes of filling in the splits in his own life. Yet the answers leave him torn - between responsibility and pleasure, between his once-certain future and the choices that can liberate him from a fragile web of lays he has spun.
