Fiction
McDermot, Nebraska, is a pleasant, scenic western cattle
town situated in the Pawnee River valley—just the place for
people seeking refuge from their hectic city lives. It is
also just the place for those who have made their homes on
this haunting prairie since the late nineteenth century.
Ideal for both, McDermot means everything to those native
inhabitants and something very different to those who are
looking for a new life. As the native residents wrestle with the arrival of
outsiders, a local journalist uncovers a medical scandal
epitomizing the problems facing the divided community. After
the death of two men, it falls to the ancient but powerful
district attorney to mediate a resolution between the
clashing interests of the new and the old West. And the
Thurston family, descended from the town’s first citizen,
sets out in its own way to fight the forces threatening to
destroy it. This is the story of new and old interests
colliding, of small western plains towns confronting the
forces of “progress.”
