Song of the Bitterroot

Disgraced fiddler Marcus McBride drifts into the troubled mountain town of Bitterroot Crossing, hoping to drown his past in whiskey and silence. But when Cal befriends Jeb, a wise Salish boy shunned by the townsfolk, the two outcasts are drawn together by a shared love of music and a desperate need for healing. As drought threatens the valley and old hatreds rise, Marcus and Jeb embark on a quest to find a legendary spring that could save settlers and Salish alike. Along the way, both must confront grief, prejudice, and the hard choice of forgiveness—discovering that sometimes, the most powerful redemption begins by listening to another's song.
