Edward Finlay’s life begins on a rugged Montana ranch in the 1890s, but his journey takes him far from home. With a strong-willed mother pushing him toward modern education and a deep friendship with a Crow boy exposing him to a vanishing warrior culture, Edward’s path is anything but ordinary.
When his forbidden romance with a woman from the reservation triggers his mother’s intervention, he’s sent to Stanford University, where the San Francisco earthquake shifts his future forever. A new calling as a surgeon leads him through two world wars, extraordinary love, and harrowing encounters with history’s darkest moments.
But as Edward confronts personal and global adversities, can he reconcile the injustices he faces with the life he’s fought to build?
Will Edward find peace amidst the chaos of his era?
