Resolving to return the animal to her native range, Billy leads her on an arduous trek across the Mexican border. Upon his return, he finds his home destroyed, his parents killed, and their horses stolen, prompting Billy and his younger brother Boyd to undertake a second journey into Mexico to reclaim their family property amidst a changing, violent landscape. Cormac McCarthy (1933-2023) earned widespread recognition as a master of modern American prose, receiving the National Book Award for All the Pretty Horses and the Pulitzer Prize for The Road.
