Mountain cabin - Softcover
Clatilda Bailey becomes heir to her husband's ranch when he is slain by a raging bear. Unable to operate the ranch by herself, she hires Will Jackson, the itinerant cowboy who witnessed the mauling of her husband, and killed the bear, although not soon enough.
Almost involuntarily, Will and Clatilda's lives become entwined as Will assumes increasing control of, and responsibility for, the ranch. Their life in the San Luis Valley of Colorado is much as might be expected in the latter half of the nineteenth century.
Will's life is further complicated by Clatilda's membership in the Mormon community surrounding the ranch. His growing affection for Clatilda is made more difficult by the necessity to protect her and the ranch in ways not totally in keeping with the beliefs of neighboring Mormon families. These problems, coupled with his struggles to understand Clatilda's character, make his growth, in the acceptance of the Mormon ways, difficult and sporadic.
Finally, Will and Clatilda reconcile their beliefs and the result is the changing of this Panhandle cowboy into a person that Will, himself, finds amazing.
