Estranged from his family, prizefighter Barney Winslow buries his bitterness in drink, women, and the prize ring, but when his drinking becomes uncontrollable, Barney must find a way to come to terms with himself and undo the harm he has inflicted on saloon girl Katie Sullivan

Set against Gilded Age America, the story extends the Winslow genealogy through a specific phase of American or global history, using Christian conversion, family inheritance and romantic loyalty as its principal interpretive framework.
