Monty Price was a man with a secret. Several times each year, he disappeared with his accumulated pay, not to be heard from again for months. And when he came back, he wouldn't say where he had been or what he had been doing. It was a selfish obsession, and he wouldn't break his habits for man or beast. But when a forest fire threatened, he found depths of courage in his soul that would change his life forever.
