This book was based in Gillespie County, Texas where there is a rivalry brewing between two different families. They are both trying to retain, or attain the family homestead. This book was hard for me to follow since there were so many different characters and things that they were involved in that I had to keep straight. In the middle of all of this, you had Callie's daughter Willow who is such a painful and tragic character that is having growing pains of her own. I struggled with understanding what the fight was about and how Callie had managed to lose everything. Callie's wives had their own issues and he had put them into a rough position when both of their properties were tied into the historical land that he lost. As much as I would have loved to, I could just not get into this book how I wanted to be. I finished it though and did love the writing style. It just all came across as thrown all over the place.
