Hank Stamper has lived beside and fought with the Wakonda River in the State of Oregon all his life. The riverside house built by his father, old Henry, has become a fortress - both against the river, which after long years of erosion n ow swirls round three sides of it, and against the jealousies and rivalries of men. When Hank's college-educated half-brother Leland returns to his childhood home, in response to a cryptic summons, he is not sure whether Hank needs his help for the family logging business or simply wants to give him a further taste of the humiliation he knew there as a boy. In learning the answer to these questions he becomes involved in the Stamper clan's bitter battle with the union, the town and the forces of nature.
