Conagher: A Novel

As far as the eye can see, a vast, empty horizon stretches out. Evie Teale has finally accepted that her husband will not be returning home. To make ends meet, she runs a temporary stage station. Despite her diligence and care, Evie must prepare for the day when the passengers stop coming, and she must protect her children in an untamed country where it's far easier to die than to live.

Miles away, another solitary soul battles for survival. Conagher is a lean, dark-eyed drifter who is not about to let a gang of rustlers push him around. While searching the isolated canyons for missing cattle, he finds notes tied to tumbleweeds rolling with the wind. The bleak, spare words echo Conagher's own whispered prayers for companionship. Who is this mysterious woman on the other side of the wind? Conagher can only hope that he can stay alive long enough to find her.

Evie's temporary stage station is her lifeline, and she runs it with a keen eye for detail and a steadfast determination to provide for her children. But the isolation and the constant threat of danger weigh heavily on her. She knows that the day will come when the passengers stop arriving, and she must find a way to protect her family in a land where survival is a daily battle.

Conagher, on the other hand, is a hardened loner, a man who has learned to trust only himself. His search for the missing cattle leads him to the mysterious notes, and he is drawn to the idea of finding the woman who wrote them. But the rustlers pose a dangerous threat, and Conagher must use all of his skills and cunning to stay one step ahead of them.

As Evie and Conagher's paths begin to converge, they both find themselves confronted with the harsh realities of life in the untamed West. They must make difficult choices and find the strength to overcome the challenges that stand in their way. Will they find the companionship and support they so desperately crave, or will the relentless struggle for survival consume them?

The bleak, empty horizon that stretches out before them is a constant reminder of the fragility of life in this unforgiving land. But even in the face of such adversity, Evie and Conagher must find the courage to keep going, to fight for their own survival and the hope of a better future.
