A vibrant tale of abandonment and sexual obsession, jealousy and untrusting love. On a spring morning in 1932, young Karl and Mary Adare arrive by boxcar in Argus, North Dakota. Orphaned in a most peculiar way, Karl and Mary look for refuge to their mother's sister Fritzie, who, with husband Pete, runs a butcher shop. So begins an exhilarating forty-year saga brimming with unforgettable characters: Ordinary Mary who causes a miracle. Seductive Karl, who lacks Mary's gift for survival. Sita, their lovely, disturbed, ambitious cousin. Wallace Pfef, a town leader bearing a lonely secret. Celestine James, a mixed-blood Chippewa, and her daughter Dot. Theirs is a story grounded in the tenacity of relationships. The magic of the natural events and their unending mystery of the human condition.
