Suddenly, a new sound fell on his ears. He lay very still, listening and wishing his back wasn't exposed to the opening. He heard a soft padding sound. Coyote Fear rose and tightened his throat as a mental picture of the rabid coyote filled his mind. He realized it could be a mountain lion or wolf, but that didn't help to calm him. Is this the way I'm going to die? Raised in a world of women, Moses comes of age and leaves behind everything he has ever known. Fate seems to guide him on a journey to the High Meadows. There, he is thrust into a man s domain, with strong, hardworking ranchers and cowboys.
