Dr. Amelia Martin gives birth to her son while living in the shelter of a minor's shack. Homesteaders lay claim to the land and the water. Women become overnight widows as violence erupts over mining claims. A town rises up as if by magic among the prickly pear cactus, sage brush and wild animals. Businessmen, miners, teachers, cowboy, ministers, soiled doves and families all share a common bond: survival of the fittest. Five years pass quickly. Amelia, wanting the best education for her son, returns to Virginia. Soon those years of separation stretch to twenty-five years. A reunion enlightens the families of how that time was spent. Contrasts between lifestyles are illuminated. Joseph meets cousins, works as a field hand, learns to milk a cow, and discovers the daily routine of hard work for homesteaders and ranchers. Will Joseph want to return to his Virginia life or will he decide to return to his birthplace?
