Description

Set amid the red clay, pine forests, and horse country of South Carolina, this sweeping family saga follows the Bolton family, whose generations-long stewardship of the land is rooted in the rich tradition of Southern Black cowboy culture. After a devastating loss, Dwayne distances himself from the family history he is meant to inherit, leaving his spirited daughter, Nikki, unaware of the legacy woven into her deepest passion: horses. As threats to their home and future bring buried histories to the surface, father and daughter must reckon with inheritance, identity, and the ties that bind them. With emotional precision and lyrical insight, the novel offers a powerful reclamation of the American cowboy while exploring family, memory, belonging, and the forces that shape who we become.
