Joshua Ryder is eight when his mother is murdered. A vintage cowboy becomes the daddy he hasn't had and, when he's dying, asks Josh, now 18, to leave the ranch with their neighbor, Miguel, and get some experience working for another outfit. Riding Shadow, the buckskin he's raised from a colt, Josh involves the Rawlins' ranch and hires on to help drive a herd of longhorns to Kansas. Martha Rawlins, the widowed ranch owner, and her children accompany the herd, and she teaches Josh to learn and write while on the trail. He becomes friends with the Rawlins' son, falls deeply in love with the older daughter, and adores her little sister, Kit. Another tragedy again changes the course of Josh's life, and he heads back again to Texas to look for the person who murdered his mother.
