Fifteen-year-old Lacey Mayford has been infatuated with Matthew since she was a little girl. Matthew, a half-breed Indian, doesn't see her as anything more than a little girl cousin. How can she convince him that she is growing into a beautiful young woman he should consider? In the frontier town near the turn of the century, Matthew Thorton is blamed for Luther Hannibal's murder after an altercation with Luther over stolen furs. Lacey defends Matthew with the help of a teacher, Felix Grackle. They look into other suspects who could have killed Luther Hannibal. Matthew's father Luke and his best friend Jacque Pierre are looking for the person responsible for stealing the furs. They believe the thief might have something to do with Luther Hannibal's murder. Will Lacey be able to clear Matthew's name? Will Luke and Jacque Pierre find the man who stole the furs? Will the vigilantes stop the Whiskey Rebellion without bloodshed? The truth is far more sinister than anyone could imagine.

Nightmares and claustrophobia plague World War II veteran Eric Stone. His German twin brother died in his arms and that later led to him being imprisoned. Troubled and restless, Eric leaves his relatives in Colorado and rides a motorcycle to the California coast. Is he searching for happiness, a place he can really call home, or trying to fulfill a promise to his dying Hawaiian friend who wanted to teach him how to ride a surfboard? Eric told him he would somehow learn. Eric only knows his uncle, Colonel James Stone, will be home soon, and right now he's too angry to confront him. Near the coast, a car runs Eric off the road then rams the Arroyo Grande high school bus. Though injured, Eric hobbles to the site. His assistance to the injured students endears him to families in the coastal town. He stays all summer, manages to fulfill his promise, makes many good friends, and falls in love with Kathy Ryan, but almost loses, all he gains.
