A young married couple from Sacramento in the 1950's, decide to move to a ranch in Shasta County near Redding, California. She sees it as a chance to pursue her dreams to be a writer, and he wants to be a rancher. They are unprepared for the changes this will make in their lives.

I have had the opportunity to travel through the scenic Shasta Mountain countryside on several occasions over the years. I love the long needle pines and the stretches of forest and grazing land. I thought it the perfect setting for a fiction story.
