Description: "Hoping to make a new life for himself after World War II, and to escape the guilt he feels over the death of a brother who fought and died in his stead, Grant Person abandons his family's ranch on the Great Plains for a fishing boat on the Atlantic. But the death of his mother three years later draws him back to the nearly deserted ranch.

His father has mysteriously disappeared, and his only remaining brother, Max, a lifelong rival, takes off the day Grant arrives, leaving him with a couple of hired hands, a sickly flock, and a pile of debt.".

"But when Max returns the following year, he is not alone. Sofia, a city girl estranged from her father, struggles to find solace on the dying ranch, and instead finds herself drawn to Grant. The ensuing contest of wills threatens to tear what is left of the Person family apart, and to revive ghosts Grant had hoped were gone for good."--BOOK JACKET.
