Publisher's Synopsis
An aging cowboy overcome by grief at the death of his wife-his life's companion and childhood sweetheart-undertakes one last journey into the high country to fulfill a promise. On his trek, he confronts the threats and violence of nature and of a younger, less sentimental culture, along with a lifetime of bittersweet memories, finally reaching closure and parting with her ashes at the source of the stream that has run through their lives.
