Failure or success in a life is often calculated on what a man owns. A man with nothing, no steady job, not even a driver's license, is judged a failure to the rest of the world. When Dayton Sandoval lands unexpectedly in a small New Mexico town, he knows he will earn a few dollars, learn a few names, and be gone before entanglements hobble and hold him. It's a familiar pattern, what he does, how he survives. But it doesn't work out that way -- not at all. Because of an old woman, a rank horse, and the child who loves him . . . and a distant and fearful lady. As Dayton Sandoval allows these three women to need him, as he learns to love and care for them, he will pull apart the devastation of his past and find a completed and whole man where he thought lay only ancient, unhealing wounds.
