On a pristine, welcoming world, newly arrived settlers mistake quiet for safety—unaware that the land itself is listening, waiting to decide when silence will answer back.

The Silence by Ray Bradbury is used by permission of Don Congdon and Associates.

On a hard-pressed cattle ranch, a sharp-witted young woman finds her grit and judgment tested when a charming drifter rides in, stirring old wounds, fresh suspicions, and a risky game of trust under the wide-open western sky.
