Mountain Lion

by Jean Stafford

Published 1 December 1977
On a Colorado ranch, two children from California, Molly and Ralph, come face to face with an alien world - of open spaces, rearing horses and a strange landscape. They come to accept this life, but as Ralph grows away, Molly's obsessive love for him threatens to drive them both towards tragedy. Jean Stafford also wrote "Boston Adventure" and a collection of short stories.
