   Summary

   A drifter enters the stage of an utterly ordinary town in Kansas. Within it is an utterly ordinary boy: William Wilson, who dreams of a world beyond his family’s general store, and catches glimpses of it only in the stories he reads.

   The stranger, however, quickly proves himself to be anything but ordinary. He’s straight out of a novel: golden hair, cowboy boots, a pistol in his belt, and a mutt at his heels. All he’s missing is a hat.

   Will compiles the man’s life story in the pages of his notebook; A life story that includes its fair share of tragedy, crime, and romance. The last thing Will expects is to be caught up in the tale himself — especially in terms of the romance.
