Written as a myth-shattering sequel to Jack Schaefer's 'Shane,' this western focuses on Billy and his family one year after Shane's disappearance, as well as Marie, a Metis girl who leaves her home in Saskatchewan, and notes written by an 'ideal reader' on the text years later. This historical fiction explores hope and resistance in a violent and materialistic world.

Based on characters from "Shane" by Jack Schaefer.
