Tom Hawke, a veteran of the War Between the States, goes West to find a new life.
Cattle drives, gun fights and running from the law bring him to a small
ranch in Colorado. Here a young mother of two children is fighting a losing
battle for survival against the elements, horse thieves and greedy
ranchers.
Tom finds in this new territory his partners from his past. Together they
fight for the future of the BAR NONE ranch.
Tom Hawke is my hero in this story. He is a man with a past of which he is not too proud.
He is a person who struggles with right and wrong as well as dishonor versus honor. His old
partners show up, and in their unique manner provide Hawke with friendship and support.
It is a story of building relationships.. It is a story of honor, loyalty, pain
and love. Is it possible for Hawke to find contentment of spirit and even love?
History has always been an interest, and I have enjoyed historical fiction. It has been the
frontier of American History that has been so intriguing, because there we have observed the moral
and historical struggles that men and women face in creating a future.
