Living in the ruthless solitude of the desert, range or mountains the men in these four stories are all on personal journeys. In The Camp Robber a man has driven his wife away and yearns for reconciliation and Amber's Mirage reveals an old man's realization of the corrupting power of gold when up against young love. In a harsh climate of sand-storms and isolation these tales illustrate the brutality of living close to nature and the need to find real values in life.
