About the Book

"The Promise Seed" is a love story---love of family---love of God/The Great Spirit---love of the land. It is an historic fiction that traces the lives of five generations of pioneers on the Great American Desert. . . prairie land in northeastern Colorado. The Iowan Schultz family tries their luck with 320 acres of land due to the 1909 Extended Homestead Act. Challenged by brutal summers and hard winters the courageous homesteaders plow the barren prairie untouched by hills, rivers, or trees. Lives are shattered by hailstorms, tornadoes, and prairies fires. The first years they live underground in 'dugouts' along with spiders and snakes. An Ancient Cheyenne/Scottish Spiritual Leader Red Sun in Hair (or Old Timer) and a German/French old grandfather, Papa Paul, a seed expert, unite their knowledge and friendship to teach the newcomers a way of farming that saves the land. A Covenant with God/The Great Spirit is renewed each March 21st to thank the land and promise to care for it. Papa Paul sorts seeds for the very best and saves them as the 'seed crop': The Promise Seed. The family encounters evil, dishonest people as well as historical events like The Sand Creek Massacre, The Dust Bowl, The Great Depression, and World War II. Yet, they survive to build sustainable fields that feed the world. Widow Rose, a trained, talented violinist has to overcome so many losses yet she remains feisty, brave, resourceful. Driving her Black Ford to Denver (on her own) Rose becomes a leader in women's suffrage in Colorado. A love triangle erupts between Will, the older and Hank, the young brother as both fall in love with an immigrant from Denmark. Julie, a talented, beautiful orphan falls in love with Will. Hank vows to get even with his brother, Will. Hank marries a (supposedly) rich widow, and they develop a plot to gain control of the whole homestead. This plot involves the District Attorney, also an evil man. Plotting continues as Hank illegally gains ownership. A mysterious death occurs, but the grave cannot contain a secret. Will and Julie's four children show the Promise Seed through their inherited talents of music, art, healing, and leadership. Their organic farms still thrive now over one hundred years. Today the family still blesses the land, remembering the Covenant made many years ago. The wind still blows and the Red Arrow of Cheyenne Revenge still remains in the sod wall of the Homestead shed. Hank dies in an accident. Most believe it is not an accident but the mystery remains unsolved. Brother, Will, finally understands the link between Hank's death and the Red Arrow of Revenge. The ending leaves the reader engaged in new thinking and dedication to environmental conservation and honoring Mother Nature.
