Salthill

"One evening in 1946, a hungry stranger joins the family at Salthill, a horse ranch in the Skillihawk Valley in British Columbia. Grey St. Oegger welcomes the young African-American, who gives his name as simply Harris, in for a meal. But after dinner, when he sees the young man's affinity for horses, he extends that welcome indefinitely, offering Harris a job and a place to live.". "Over the next five years, Harris seems to settle in at Salthill, becoming a partner and nearly a son to Grey, who breeds and trains horses while raising his two daughters and his son. Harris eventually buys a horse of his own, a magnificent but temperamental creature they call the Red. But even Grey sees a rage in Harris, simmering like the Red's own wild streak, below Harris' quiet exterior. None of the St. Oeggers knows much about him or what he really wants. And the more he becomes part of the family, the more an explosion seems inevitable - especially once Elsa, Grey's youngest daughter, returns from school a headstrong and beautiful young woman and turns her eye on Harris."--BOOK JACKET.
