Hewey Calloway is a confirmed bachelor cowboy. He loves to ride his horse into new territory, stay a while on a job, then ride away to something different. He has the makings of being a boss, but he'd rather just be a cowboy, keep peace and have friends.
Hewey has a brother named Walter that has a small Texas spread with a wife & 2 boys. When Hewey stops in for a visit he discovers Walter in a bad way, in need of help to get out from under a note that the bank is determined to call them on. The owner to the bank has the biggest ranch and Walter's small parcel is something he'd like to add to his collection of land.
Some misadventures happen and Hewey is nearly saddled into a marriage he's not really sure he wants as well as needing to help Walter get his cattle sold & crops sold to pay off the note.
A good read with a look into the ethics of the cowboy and how urban sprawl has affected their way of life. How some folks are born with a wandering heart of the past and some are born with the spirit to forge new things and adapt to change.
