Publisher's Note A reissue of the heartwarming story of a love triangle--described by The New York Times as "a rarity . . . wonderful, heartbreaking, exhilarating"--by the bestselling author of Terms of Endearment and Lonesome Dove. The heir to a Texas ranch, his cowboy friend, and the woman they both love tell their own stories, over a 40-year span, and explain how they finally "left" Cheyenne.
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
