This is the haunting story of the Pope family set in the late 19th century in the Great Plains. When Ulysses leaves without notifying anyone, his worried sons attempt to find him without their mother's knowledge. The sons, Eli and sickly Danny, follow a trail that leads them into the heart of the Great Plains' states; meanwhile, Gretta, their mother and Ulysses' wife, begins her own journey to find her sons and reunite the family. The strength of these characters individually and collectively is riveting, as is the bond that binds them. The history of this region during this timeframe is as fascinating as the story of the Pope family.
