Cowboy is the oldest of the preacher's four sons, but the only one to leave home. Some say he left for a life of adventure following the cow herds north. Others tell of a blood-and-slober brawl where more than promises were broken. The whole town knows that he left in a mighty unexpected hurry. Cowboy has two thoughts in mind as he heads up the trail one last time: find a decent vaquero's job and finally shake that bugaboo from his youthful past that haunts his dreams at night. Cowboy rides his pony from Texas to Montana trying to locate anyone who might have the resolution to his unanswered questions. Along the way, he meet a teenage runaway, a rich-kid cattle baron, and a ten foot wild bear hell-bent on doing him harm. From the man he wronged, there is forgiveness. From the family believing him dead, there is heart-warming welcome. From the new woman he meets, there is the promise of good things to come. Cowboy learns that home is a good place to be. None such better
