Pleasant Valley, Arizona Territory, 1882. The land between the Mogollon Rim and the creek bottoms is beautiful the way a held breath is beautiful - still, charged, waiting.
Nora Callan came west with a dead husband and a gift she does not name: a barometer's sensitivity to the invisible weight of what men are about to do. She did not come for trouble. But the valley has its own intentions.
When two ranching families - the Tewksburys and the Grahams, friends once, now something else - begin their slow slide toward the bloodiest feud in the history of the American West, Nora finds herself caught between them: reading the weather, unable to stop the storm.
The Rim Country is a story about what a place remembers. And what it refuses to forget.
