Standing on a high wilderness ridge in northern New Mexico, Blaine
Wells, a self-imposed hermit after the horrifying murders of his
wife and daughter, is torn from an almost hypnotic absorption with
the natural beauty around him by the sputtering engines of a small
plane. The helpless aircraft, a fragment of society hurtling into
his private paradise, both startles and angers him. With
conflicting feelings, he seeks the crash site where he nurtures the
survivors and fights those who would serve their selfish desires at
the expense of those less capable. Blaine soon devises a means for
their rescue and when a helicopter disappears into the distance
with the survivors, he finds himself alone once again. During the
trek back to his cabin and throughout the long harsh winter, he
often thinks of the young girl who lost her father and the elderly
woman whose husband was killed. Later, responding to the girl's
need for help, he leaves the wilderness. While helping her, he
contacts his sister-in-law and her husband whom he has not seen
since his family's funeral. To his astonishment, he learns that he
has inherited 700 acres of ranch land from his late wife.
Meanwhile, the eventual healing of the young girl triggers feelings
and emotions that challenge those stirred by the beauty and
contentment of his mountain retreat. Will he reenter society or
return to his beloved wilderness? Glen Onley, a former Information
Technology executive, was born in Texas and often enjoys the
tranquility of New Mexico's Pecos Wilderness. There the daily
stresses and pressures of the business world and modern life fade
under the spell of that vast land of natural beauty. Through the
contrast of a fast-paced, competitive world and the serenity of the
wilderness, the author has created this fictional story.
