Nan A. Talese, 1998.
Judgment is the enemy of love.
The morning that Marvin Deernose, Native American carpenter and recovering drug addict, drove slowly down a Montana road to find himself staring at a dying horse and an overturned Cadillac, he sensed that his life would never be the same. Before the ambulance arrives, Neilhart extracts a promise from Marvin. Promise me that you won't let it happen. The senator is accustomed to getting what he wants. The bewildered Marvin agrees.
