Five young men from a small reservation in Wyoming set off on a joyride; only four survive. The death triggers years of pent-up resentments between the white townspeople and members of the Towuk tribe. Based on Edward Delaney's years of reporting on these issues in the area, the novel delivers a searing look at the exacting price of community, self-determination, and holding one's ground.

Cover by
“Edward J. Delaney’s gripping new novel captures the dashed hopes and stifled ambitions that are too often avoided in telling the story of Manifest Destiny. Hard Margins is an achievement, as starkly beautiful as the landscape it describes.”
—DAVID WRIGHT FALADÉ, author of The New Internationals and Black Cloud Rising
“In this remarkable novel, we have the rare opportunity of reading about the modern-day West as it really is.”
—SALLIE BINGHAM, author of Taken by the Shawnee
“Taut and atmospheric, Hard Margins is a gripping read about people pushed to their limits—and sometimes beyond.... This fine a novel all too rarely comes along.”
—STEVE YARBROUGH, author of Stay Gone Days
