Setting:
The setting was at No Name, Colorado where Jamie Keegan's or Ace Keegan's step-father was killed and his mother was raped by Conor O'Shannessy at the bushes on a one cold night. And where the love begins between Caitlin and Ace.
Major Characters:
- Jamie Keegan: At the age of 11 he was called as Jamie but after how many years when his beloved step-father died he changed his name to Ace Keegan. He was a gambler, a very known and feared rich man in Colorado; most of the people have a fear on him for being a rugged man in black. He loves his wife Caitlin O'Shannessy very much. And ruggedly handsome man.
- Joseph Paxton: The step-father of Ace Keegan and treated Ace as his true son

Plot:
Ace Keegan returned to No Name, Colorado to have revenge to Conor but when he heard that he is already dead, he had no intentions to shift his revenge from the father to the children…Patrick wants to fight with Ace but he doesn't want to fight a 19 year old man, in order for Ace to be angry with him, he killed his valued bull on a gun. So normally Ace would be angry, he brought Patrick into Caitlin's house and tied his head on the wagon. But instead of killing Patrick, Caitlin begs for forgiveness and willing to pay the thing her brother had ruined. (On that time when Conor was dead, Caitlin and Patrick were quite poor and they only had a small farm, a barn and a few animals in order for them to live.) So Ace didn't kill his brother.
The Character I Liked Most:
The character I liked most is Ace Keegan because even though he had anger from the father, he has still his good principle that never put revenge or anger unto the others and because he has a good heart inside, a gentleman, And has a very true love to Caitlin.
The Scene That Touched Most:
The scene that touched most is when Caitlin paid 88.95 dollars through mail to Ace as a partial payment for the bull of a total cost of 8000 dollars, even if Caitlin doesn't have enough money to pay. But still Ace has a kind heart to Caitlin so he tries to explain everything and returned the money to her.
Resolution:
My resolution in this story is that never put an anger to your heart, but even though you cannot help it if you are in the situation, just put love on your heart but not hatred, and anger. Love can heal.
