520    "This sweeping novel set in the province of Texas is "a 
       powerful depiction of the rough realities of frontier life
       [and] the vicious influence of racism" ( The New York 
       Times ). Finalist for the Reading the West Book Award for 
       Fiction In 1827, Duncan Lammons, a disgraced young man 
       from Kentucky, sets out to join the American army in the 
       province of Texas, hoping that here he may live -- and 
       love -- as he pleases. That same year, Cecelia, a young 
       slave in Virginia, runs away for the first time. Soon 
       infamous for her escape attempts, Cecelia continues to 
       drift through the reality of slavery -- until she 
       encounters frontiersman Sam Fisk, who rescues her from a 
       slave auction in New Orleans. In spite of her mistrust, 
       Cecelia senses an opportunity for freedom, and travels 
       with Sam to Texas, where he has a homestead. In this new 
       territory, where the law is an instrument for the cruel 
       and the wealthy, they begin an unlikely life together, 
       unaware that their fates are intertwined with those of 
       Sam's former army mates, including Duncan Lammons, a 
       friend -- and others who harbor dangerous dreams of their 
       own. This "swift and skillful Western" takes its place 
       among the great stories that recount the country's fight 
       for freedom -- one that makes us want to keep on with the 
       struggle ( The Wall Street Journal ). "Gwyn creates an 
       overwhelmingly visceral and emotionally rich narrative 
       amid Texas's complex path to statehood... This is a 
       masterpiece of western fiction in the tradition of Cormac 
       McCarthy and James Carlos Blake." -- Publishers Weekly 
       (starred review) "It's always a pleasure to discover 
       another superb writer who had not been on my radar... many
       scenes pulse with tension, tenderness or both." -- 
       Minneapolis Star Tribune"--|cProvided by Freading.
