Monica Silver
Three days out of prison, I found myself standing at the gates of Silver Ranch in Montana. I had a duffel bag, twenty dollars in my pocket, and nowhere else to go. Back in town, people talked about the ranch's owner, Monica Silver. Tough. Smart. Fair. If anyone might give a man a second chance, it was her. The ranch stretched for miles across the valley.

Just a chance to earn an honest living." For a few seconds, she studied me without saying a word. My future depended on what she said next.
