In this contemporary novel set in the Big Bend country of Southwest Texas, Clayton Elliott must move the grave of his infant daughter from the homestead he sold to water developers before they begin drilling into the aquifer. Clayton had promised his wife on her deathbed that he would bury their daughter next to her in the town cemetery. As he wrestles with grief and the difficult chore of moving his daughter, he is torn between his promise to his deceased wife and the vehement opposition of his lifelong friends to the drilling, which will be triggered by moving Serafina's remains.
