The Night of the Cat Richard Waltner

From a practicing physician in a large eastern city to a small acre rancher near Chouteu, Montana, Ann Coulter fulfills a long held dream and finds the peace and solitude she has been seeking. With the help of Charlie, her adopted father, they develop her small ranchette to the point where she can at least raise and feed a few head of livestock. Her peace and solitude come to an abrupt and when through a strange twist of events, badly wounded and bleeding Dick Ferrell comes into her life. While nursing him back to health, Dick and Ann fall hopelessly in love and Ann is most happy to give up both her peace and solitude for Dick's love and the happy years of marriage which follow. They come to a sudden end when Dick is falsely accused of having adulterous affair. When Ann hears of it, broken hearted and weeping she runs off into a bitter cold Montana winter night and collapse onto the snow covered ground. Dick finds her and again declares his innocence which Ann accepts just in the nick of time.
