Spring, 1849. Eli McCullough was only thirteen when Comanche Indians attacked his home in Texas, killed his mother and sister, and took him with them. Shrewd and brave, Eli became accustomed to life among the Indians and soon became one of them. Neither white nor Indian, the boy is caught between two civilizations, one passing and one advancing. He must find his place in a world where adventure and tragedy succeed each other with kaleidoscopic speed. 1915. Peter McCullough is wracked with guilt about what is happening around him, about the fury with which people gnaw their way out of the sun. He is the exact opposite of Eli, his father - he does not act, but contemplates and ponders. Peter came too early into this world, where only strength and pressure are valued. Mid-twentieth century. Jeannie McCullough - the heiress of the family, an indomitable lady, iron hand managing the richest company in Texas, the head of a powerful oil empire. Her world is a world of cold calculation and rapid reactions to political news. But she doesn't feel like she belongs in this world. Through one family's story of trial, passion, and success, Philip Meyer unfolds a startling history of Texas. An epic novel spanning more than a century, drenched in tears and blood, full of tenderness, adventure, and bravery.
