Publisher's Note An unforgettable tale of a love triangle that spans a generation, of a friendship that endures from dusty wagons to private planes, and of a rancher's legacy that sprawls beyond memories and land. "A rarity . . . funny, wonderful, heartbreaking, exhilarating".--New York Times Book Review. McMurtry is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lonesome Dove.
Industry Reviews "McMurtry is psychologically precise in tracing this three-sided relationship. Odd as the roots of this friendship may seem, there's enduring consideration and a feeling in it. The story takes so many years to tell because feelings that last a lifetime are the subject." New York Times Book Review - Walter Clemons
