Behind the portrait.
Gary Lovett lives at the family homestead east of Redstone Crossing. He raised Jesse and Levi with a respect for learning that was practical rather than ornamental: reading belonged alongside knowing weather and caring for horses.
His home holds books, tools, and the habits of a man who keeps things in working order. His sons carry those lessons into different lives, one of them wearing the sheriff’s badge.
The past weighs on the Lovett household in Coldwater Pass, but the details of Gary’s history are revealed in the novel itself.
