Summary "The Voice at Johnnywater" by B. M. Bower is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the story of Gary Marshall, a young actor working in the film industry, who is abruptly pulled into the troubles of ranch life when he becomes involved with Patricia Connolly, a spirited young woman who has purchased a cattle ranch named Johnnywater. The narrative intertwines themes of aspiration, love, and the rugged realities of the American West, showcasing Gary's internal conflict between his movie career and the call of a more authentic life. The opening portion of the book introduces the main characters and sets up the plot surrounding Gary and Patricia. Gary receives a call from Patricia while he is in the midst of a tiring workday, and she shares her excitement about a surprise she has planned for him. After dinner, she reveals that she has bought a struggling ranch in Nevada, much to Gary's initial disbelief and frustration. As Patricia expresses her hopes for their future in ranching, Gary’s skepticism grows, highlighting the tension between their dreams and the harsh realities they may face. The introduction paints a vivid picture of their relationship and hints at the challenges that lie ahead as Gary grapples with his ambitions amid the uncertainties of ranch ownership.
