Ana Howland is at a crisis point. As a constrained yet passionate woman, she finds few outlets for her desires in her role as mother and wife. She is subsumed by a controlling husband, but is craving her own fulfillment.

Ana's shift at St. Joseph's had ended. The road ahead was a familiar ordeal. At La Cueva, thirty miles from town, the battered cattle gate came into view, chained and padlocked on its cedar post.

It would be a hard drive to get through the ditches carved in the road and up the slippery hills. The last stretch was a bog full of boulders, curved and slick as turtlebacks. She was grateful her daughter Emmy was at home with Frank. If not for that, there would have been the worry of sending the Wagon into a slide, of crushing it to a coffin of twisted steel.

She got up, still in the slip she had worn to bed, and went to the kitchen. Frank looked relaxed as he had been for the past weeks, and it gave her courage. She stood behind him, pressing her fingers into the table, into the dark, glossy streaks that ran like a woman's hair through the heavy, oak surface. She remembered the strength she had felt at the Changing Woman ceremony, and called the images to mind. That night had molded her, shaped her. She was about to become a different woman.
