The cover text reads like the one on a cheap Harlequin paper-back but I'm sure the ladies reading those would get quite upset with this one... Sex, profanity and beautiful writing in a blend that few authors can whip up. Ed considered this as one of his best books himself.

At thirty-one, life had become meaningless for Will Gatlin. So he traded a bad marriage and an academic career for the solitude of the Rocky Mountains. A fire ranger, alone in the silent wilderness, far from the cold steel and concrete of civilization, he lacked nothing and regretted nothing ... until Sandy came along.

She was another man's woman -- quiet and innocent of her own bewitching sensuality. Unbidden and unexpected, she would turn Will Gatlin's world around ... and become part of him forever.

From Edward Abbey, the acclaimed author of The Fool's Progress and the rebellious American masterpiece The Monkey Wrench Gang, comes a bawdy and beautiful tale about love, the land and freedom.

"Abbey is a fresh breath from the farther reaches and canyons of the diminishing frontier" -- Houston Chronicle
