Description

Catherine Lemay's summer in Montana is a task ahead of her - to prove nothing of historical value will be lost in the flood as a major dam project approaches. She arrives at a vast, unforgiving canyon where the landscape itself seems to mock her contained, artifact-rich digs back in London.

It's there she meets John H, a former mustanger and veteran of the U.S. Army's last mounted cavalry campaign, living a fugitive life in the canyon. His presence inspires Catherine to see beauty in the stark landscape, and her heart opens to more than just the vanished past.

Painted Horses is a story about love, ambition, tradition, and the future making strange bedfellows. It's a heroic quest for a dauntless young woman, a song of praise for the horseman's vanishing way of life, and a reminder that these forces often intersect in unexpected ways.
