The book likely explores themes of transition, identity, and the clash between Western ruggedness and urban sophistication, as Clay navigates his new surroundings and interacts with various characters, including a young girl named Kitty and a group of unconventional New Yorkers.  The opening of the novel introduces readers to the vast and wild landscapes of Arizona and the hard life of cattle herding, setting a backdrop for the stark contrast of New York's urban environment.
