Following the Civil War in 1865, Zac Trimbell fights the internal demons brought on from his experiences in the violent and inhuman conditions of war. Zac knows he is not the same man that went to war but has never heard of PTSD. As Zac is dragged into hopelessness, he moves forward with fierce determination, leading old neighbors and freed slaves, Lem and Phoebe, away from Texas, to the Colorado gold fields, hoping for a new start in life for all of them. Hard work, a few lucky breaks and a meeting with a starving Polish immigrant geologist lead the three Texans forward. Reg Quist delivers a story full of hope for the hurting!
