The story introduces us to June Tolliver, a young girl living on a remote ranch with her father, Pete, in a tough frontier setting. The narrative takes a turn when Jake Houck, a menacing figure from Pete's past, arrives, bringing with him a complex mix of danger and unwanted attention to June, who is caught between her fierce independence and a budding vulnerability. At the start of the book, we are introduced to June, whose life of isolation is flavored with an intuition of her father's troubled past. As she prepares dinner for her father, a stranger named Jake Houck arrives, stirring unease in the household. Initially disconcerted by his presence, June confronts the challenge posed by his possessive behavior. The opening chapters unfold as June struggles against her growing fears about Houck’s intentions regarding her and her father's dark past. As tensions rise and her predicament escalates, we witness a strong young woman grappling with societal expectations and her own sense of self-worth against the backdrop of an unforgiving landscape.
