Harboro, a reserved man known along the border from Piedras Negras, marries Sylvia in the little Episcopal church of Eagle Pass, Texas, in the late 1880s, with the desert of sage, cactus and mesquite pressing in on the town. Their marriage is strained by forces neither fully understands, and by Fectnor, a self-styled people’s advocate.
