But Charlotte needs more than support. She needs guidance and protection, but Buzzard Bill questions if he has it in him. He has always been a loyal follower, not a leader. Facing the sunset of his life without his hero and best friend, the world he once knew is quickly fading into history. Can he fill the boots of his hero? Can he hold on when the world is falling apart? Can he step up and keep the promises made to his dying friend? The thought of him trying and failing overwhelms him. If he fails, Stonehaven Ranch will fade into history, just as so many other ranches have failed out here in the wilderness; but if he does not even try, his failure is guaranteed.
