Spirit of Sweetwater

by Hamlin Garland

Set in the rugged mountains of western Colorado, "Spirit of Sweetwater" tells the story of Clement, a successful miner haunted by a past he's desperate to reconcile with. He finds himself drawn to a young woman dying from a mysterious illness. Knowing he doesn't deserve her love, he wrestles with the decision to reveal his past and risk losing her completely. As Clement confronts his conscience, he must choose between the fleeting comfort of his newfound wealth and the chance for true connection, however short-lived it might be.
