Il romanzo racconta la storia di Lyman Ward, un professore di storia in pensione e autore di libri sulla frontiera occidentale, che torna nella sua casa ancestrale nella Sierra Nevada. Costretto su una sedia a rotelle con una malattia ossea invalidante, Ward si imbarca comunque in una ricerca per riscoprire sua nonna, non morta da molto tempo, che aveva fatto il suo viaggio a Grass Valley quasi cento anni prima.

The novel tells the story of Lyman Ward, a retired professor of history and author of books about the Western frontier, who returns to his ancestral home in the Sierra Nevada. Wheelchair-bound with a crippling bone disease, Ward embarks nonetheless on a search to rediscover his grandmother, no long dead, who made her own journey to Grass Valley nearly a hundred years earlier.
