Description
When a mysterious preacher arrives at their ranch in the Rocky Mountains, Genesis watches as her pious mother becomes enamored by him and then must fight to keep her sister, Isiah, and the ranch out of his grasp.
Steadfast Genesis and defiant Isaiah are content on their famed grandfather's ranch nestled against the Rocky Mountains. When a mysterious new preacher arrives, called Leader by his congregation, the foundation of their legacy is shaken. Their pious mother, wooed by Leader's commanding presence becomes a devout member of his fold, pulling the sisters into Leader's reach. While the Depression puts pressure on the ranch, Leader's prosperity only grows. But his "church" is more than it appears. Once Genesis discovers his true intentions, she must fight to keep her ranch, and her sister, out of Leader's grasp.

Reviews
"Here is the New Western at its very best. Held to the light, Galloway's story is a familiar collision of individuals and institutions. But spin it and watch that light refract, warp, and fracture into a prism of surprise after surprise. She writes from a deep knowledge of both land and faith, sky and soil, and her characters breathe, sing, and thrum with that love that is the province of this most American genre--a love that borders on and bleeds into violence. A stunning and assured debut, and hopefully the first of many books to come." --Kyle Beachy, The Most Fun Thing
"Shay Galloway's The Valley of Sage and Juniper is a lyrical, suspenseful novel about a pair of sharp-shooting, knife-wielding, sometimes-spooky sisters and their struggles to keep the family ranch running. It's as eerie, romantic, violent, and beautiful as the landscape for which it's named." --Christian TeBordo, Apology
