Nathan T. Riggins traveled West alone and across the Nevada desert by stagecoach. He searched for his parents after his grandparents died while caring for him. When he finally arrived in Willow Creek, he panicked as he hurried from one empty building to the next. Where was everyone? How could everybody in a whole town just disappear?
In the deserted Post Office, bags of unopened mail lay everywhere. With increasing dread, he looked through the stacks of letters. There it was--his own letter to his parents telling them he was coming. No wonder they hadn't waited for him. Now what should he do? Why wasn't God taking better care of him?
Soon he comes face to face with one danger after another--Indians, a masked gunman, a blinding sandstorm, a rattlesnake. Again and again, a strange dog who seemed to adopt him came to his rescue. But where are his parents?
