Douglas Thayer's third collection presents a dozen of his career-best stories, including several that have never before appeared in print. BYU emeritus professor of English Richard Cracroft describes this work as "LDS literary fiction at its finest, written with Thayer's crisp style and shot through with his trademark irony, tempered by his faith." Author Elouise Bell says, "This work illuminates the Mormon culture with unique depth and variety, but also shows us, with equal power, the American West in fresh, moving frames."
