Before the Great War, Byron Aldridge had led a charmed life as the heir apparent to a Pennsylvania timber empire, and as guide and idol to his younger brother. After returning from France, he disappeared altogether until he's discovered working in a remote Louisiana sawmill. His brother assuming charge of the mill, struggles to understand him, even as their wives contend with their own hopes and disappointments, and the future grows fearsome for them all.
