1955 Warner Brothers Studio, Burbank, California. An unconscious female, twenty-something, almost had her head crushed by the wheel of a black 1953 Jag XK120. Gravel, hay and pink petals embedded in the bloody wound on her head. Not one of those items are anywhere on the lot. The horrific wound was that of a horseshoe which became evident in the ER. Dying twice during surgery, Jane Doe is doomed with post-traumatic amnesia, possible brain damage and most likely death. 

Meanwhile, Joc Butler, Jag owner, and acclaimed Western super-star of the television series, Durango Trail, is granted guardianship of the young woman after she awakes from her coma. Together they embark on a journey that defies every logical norm. Psychiatrist-in-Chief, Dr. Alistair Theodore Rothchild uncovers the identity of his new patient. Through state-of-the-art hypnosis, and dream states, Jane Doe is actually Brielle Pogue, but Brielle, who?”

Joc and Brielle are thrust into a journey of love, loss, discovery, sexual desire, and deception. In 1975 she disappears from their Aspen home in Colorado, standing only feet from Joc. Today, decades later, she will be reintroduced to him, by their son, Luke Blake Butler at the Rancho Caravanserai in Tucson, Arizona.

Joc now seventy years old, and his three sons in their forties; armed with DNA proof confirms thirty-something, Brielle is their mother, and Joc’s wife. Unchanged, unravaged, and unforgiven, Brielle doesn’t know any of them… Until she does.
