Out of the wild / Mark Rashid

Roughly, violently, in the dark and vacant Nevada night, cattle rancher Henry McBride has everything that means anything torn from him. Guilt-ridden, cast aside by his own heart, Henry staggers from town to town, job to job, and bar to bar, seeking only some way to momentarily silence the voices inside his head, to soothe the slow burn of his anguish. When he finds himself begging for work on a guest ranch, Henry knows he's hit bottom. He tells himself he'll only stay long enough to earn the money he needs to buy his next drink, somewhere else on down the road. But guest ranch owner Jess King extends an open and forgiving hand to the road-worn cowboy, and the arrival of a young mustang stallion-wounded, tormented, alone-ignites a flicker of recognition in Henry. Like him ... broken. With Jess's powerful ability to connect with horses, and her gentle attempts to connect with Henry, time slows enough on the ranch to heal, just a little. But she, too, has an imperfect past, and when her former ranch manager returns with murder in mind, the fragile world she, Henry, and the stallion, are attempting to create together threatens to come crashing down. When you are lost in the wildest of places, can you ever really find your way home?
