Description
A stirring and provocative novel of the American Northwest in the 1920s, Winds of Morning is narrated by Amos Clarke, who recounts an experience from thirty years ago. In his early twenties, Amos was a young sheriff's assistant when he stumbled upon a shooting that initially appeared accidental. The incident led to a trial, but the case took an unexpected turn when the defendant gave up his rights to a small patch of grazing land. As Amos helped round up the defendant's horses and lead them to public pasture, they found themselves on the hunt for a murderer after a wealthy rancher was shot dead. This journey proved to be an epiphany for both men, forever changing Amos in the process. A captivating tale of mystery, justice, and self-discovery, Winds of Morning is a gripping novel that explores the complexities of human nature. With its sharp characterization and pungent wisdom, this novel offers a compelling insight into the American Northwest during the 1920s.
