The United States Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and other government agencies have signed a contract - along with 130 ranchers and farmers and the Nez Pearce Indian Nation - to exchange more than $400 million of property in the largest land deal in Idaho history. Hawk has drained his bank account and borrowed more money to close this transaction. Can he make it through the last week before closing? On the final day, the Indians demand an additional million dollars for one of their properties. Hawk explodes. This could change his life forever.

In his novel The Cut of Pride, Jim Misko does something that is rare in modern literature: He writes about hard, brutal, unpleasant physical labor. And he does so with such vivid detail that the labor itself becomes one of the story’s major entities. His cast of complex, dysfunctional characters - owners and employees of a mink-raising farm in coastal Oregon - is nearly destroyed by the seemingly endless toil. Maintaining a sense of human worth is a constant struggle.
