内容简介：
Pink Walker was born in Arkansas in 1870. He was the last of nine children born to Sam and Milley Walker. The family moved back to Texas when Pink was four years old, and with each move the family grew smaller as the older children married. Sam's thirst for new horizons took the family on a pilgrimage across the plains of north central Texas until they finally decided to make Jack County, Texas their permanent home. Milley knew that she was dying, and confided her secret to her youngest son. Pink made a promise to his mother to carry our her wishes after her death. When Sam decided he couldn't stay in Jack County without Milley, Pink had to find a way to keep his promise to his mother. The uncivilized frontier of Texas was a beautiful land of freedom and opportunity, but with a ruthlessness that would change the Walker family forever. It was a time when the family would lose their mother, gain a deeper respect for their father, and grow closer to each other as each of them grew into maturity.
