First published in 1951 and later made into a successful movie starring Jane Russell and Jeff Chandler, this moving tale, set in the southwestern desert during the Great Depression, brings to life the rich strangeness and passion-filled glory of a forgotten era. Amanda Lawrence, a young sheltered woman from New York, falls for a half-Apache young man on her way from Europe. Following her new husband to the grim western town of Lodestone, Amanda soon feels lonely and forsaken. But when a map of a lost mine surfaces detailing the location of a cache of cursed Apache gold, Amanda and her husband become caught in a whirlwind of haunting legends and deadly realities. In this tense love story that vividly captures the anima of Arizona, modern America meets an ancient and unfathomable mystery.
