The novel explores themes of survival, morality, and conflict in the American West, particularly focusing on the life of John Hare, who finds himself embroiled in the tense dynamics between Mormons and outlaws in the desert landscape. As the story unfolds, Hare navigates a world filled with danger but also kindness, particularly from August Naab, a Mormon leader whose compassionate actions may alter Hare's fate. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist, John Hare, who is on the brink of collapse after being pursued by outlaws. He is discovered by August Naab and his family, Mormons who embody both strength and piety. The tension escalates as they prepare for the impending threat from the outlaws led by Dene, adding a sense of urgency to the narrative. The group debates their responsibilities towards Hare, revealing their complex moral code against the backdrop of survival in a harsh desert environment. Hare's interactions with Mescal, a young woman of Navajo descent raised among the Mormons, hint at a deeper connection that may develop as the story progresses. This opening sets the stage for a gripping tale of endurance and the search for belonging amid danger and moral dilemmas.
