Summary "Riders of the Purple Sage" by Zane Grey is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the rugged backdrop of southern Utah, the story revolves around themes of love, conflict, and the struggle between different communities, particularly the Mormons and Gentiles. Central to the narrative is Jane Withersteen, a strong-willed woman who grapples with her societal role while navigating her feelings for two men: her loyal rider, Venters, and a mysterious gunman named Lassiter. The opening of the book introduces Jane Withersteen as she contemplates a shifting landscape marked by growing tensions in her community. With the Church's authority looming over her life, Jane finds herself defending Venters, a Gentile, against the oppressive Elder Tull and his men, who threaten his safety. Their confrontation brings forth Jane's inner struggle between loyalty, love, and societal expectation, setting the stage for her eventual reliance on the enigmatic Lassiter. The scene captures an impending conflict while revealing Jane's determination to protect those she cares for in a volatile environment, illustrating her complexities and foreshadowing the personal and social battles that lie ahead.
