Ralph Granger’s Fortunes

On his fifteenth birthday, Ralph Granger is handed his father’s rifle and told to shoot the man riding toward him—with a little child on the mule.

In a lonely mountain hollow, an old family feud has been handed down like a loaded gun. Ralph’s grandfather, Bras, expects him to avenge his father; Ralph sees no justice in killing a man for another man’s crime. When Jase Vaughn reaches the creek, Ralph steps out of hiding and refuses to fire. His defiance could end the feud—or turn its fury on him. And as Bras raises the rifle himself, can Ralph stop the past from claiming another life?
