Dressed in a brand-new suit, with one hundred and fifty dollars in his pocket, nineteen-year-old Adam Arning says good-bye to his family and boards a train for the fabled West. The year is 1907. Soon Adam lands a job in a small department store in a booming Texas town and meets a woman who excites him beyond all measure:the exquisite, untouchable Emma Rothisch.
