Shepler's Spring

The stranger on his unshod horse arrived in Shepler?s Spring in late springtime, seeking Henry Shepler the blacksmith. What followed was a killing in the roadway, then a night-long battle around the stage company?s corralyard, and for Henry Shepler, a twist in his life he had never dreamed could happen. And when Rosie O?Leary had a visitor at her café that, more than any of the rest of it, broke Henry?s life out of its insular cocoon.
