Izzy and Bobby's Friendship

Izzy and Bobby were best friends, since before they even started school together in the first grade. Why not? After all, their fathers' spreads were next door to each other. Well, next door, if you consider their houses being almost five miles apart, in the beautiful new state of Wyoming, in the late 1800s. They were always best friends, yet never becoming what Izzy had hoped.

Love and Change

She had given up on him ever loving her as more than friends, when a handsome young man moved into the next ranch over and they fell deeply in love with each other. Women being women and men being men, even in the late nineteenth century, they could hardly keep their hands off each other.

Conflicts and Commitments

Though they each had commitments to God as well as to themselves, that they would each stay virgins until their wedding night, it was very hard for them not to have sex. The want and then the need for each other were almost overpowering.

Questions of Love and Loyalty

Would they be able to stay true to their commitment? And would Bobby turn bitter for the love he could have had, or would he find a love of his own as his two best friends had found?
