Maybe his mother was crazy, but she didn't deserve to die. Boone runs off, only 12, vowing to kill his father. He is taken as a slave, but on escape finds a kindly German settler in Texas and a large lost chunk of gold in the river. Boone retrieves it for him. This fate rewards Boone with the settler's disabled daughter, giving him, as his readings of Shakespeare remind him -- that he might fail of a right casket and woo the maiden -- finally giving Boone something to live for. But how will Emily take to his desire for revenge? After returning from the War Between the States, he decides to give Emily what she wants to give him, even at her peril. Boone still needs to confront his father to learn the truth about his mother's death, but in his delay, finds he has to save his father first. Follow Boone's adventures in the war-torn western US states between 1857 and 1872, to see how he comes to terms with being a "half-breed."
