She backed away, leaving the glow of the fire behind her. 'No, I must go alone. Don't worry; I will be just fine. I've been this way before, you know. I'll see you tomorrow, then?' 'Yes, I'll be here. Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself?' All of a sudden, I realized I could no longer see her. The silence was complete except for the whisper of the evening breeze in the tops of the trees. She had faded away as if she had never been there. Just mist. That's all. Clay Kurtz, a retired United States Marshal and widower, decides to become a full-time rancher on his inherited land. It is a dream fulfilled, but his loneliness sometimes overwhelms him. One day while out riding his horse in a nearby valley, he meets a mysterious, older woman named Lauren, who eventually asks him a favor that will change his life forever. Lauren requests that Clay go to San Francisco, find her long-lost niece, Laurellen, and tell her about an inheritance she knows nothing of. He must also make sure she comes back to Wyoming with him. Driven by an unexpected sense of loyalty to Lauren, Clay arrives in San Francisco and soon realizes that there were a lot more forces at work in his intersecting path with Laurellen. Things beyond his control begin to happenâ€"things that shape the future for Clay and everyone around him. Can Clay get the quiet retirement he wants? Will he ever find out the truth behind Lauren? Mist's orphaned hero overcomes his sorrow at the loss of his young wife by building a new future not only for himself but for all people close to him. It is a fascinating and heartwarming tale. I found it hard to put the book down until I knew the whole story. â€"Nathan Tubb, Academic Dean and Academic Vice President (retired), South Plains College, Levelland, Texas
