"The Desire of the Moth and the Come On" by Eugene Manlove Rhodes is a story set in the Southwestern United States about a man named John Wesley Pringle, who travels westward. As Pringle moves through the lands, he thinks about old memories, his adventurous nature, and how he relates to other people, especially a woman named Stella Vorhis whom he knew a long time ago. When Pringle gets to a town, the story shows how uneasy the people are with one another, especially between the Sheriff, Matt Lisner, and another man, Christopher Foy. The beginning of the book shows a mix of exploration, love, and tricky relationships among people, all happening in a vivid Southwestern setting.
