Wildfire

At Bostil's Ford, eighteen-year-old Lucy Bostil watches the desert and longs for something extraordinary to happen. She loves its horses, canyons, and open distances, and refuses to imagine a future chosen for her by other people. Zane Grey's Wildfire places wild horses and human ambition against the landscape of Utah and the Colorado River country. The opening establishes Lucy's fierce attachment to freedom and the tensions surrounding life in an isolated community. This Western joins vivid desert scenery with the energy of horse-centered adventure, inviting readers into a world where independence is both a desire and a daily test.
