Lost Love. The Long Return, #1

LOST LOVE - The first novel in a trilogy about Captain Jake Cooper, a Texan, returning back home from fighting in the Civil War. He and his close friend, Lt. Sam Boyd hook up with a Wagon Train leaving from Richmond, Virginia, heading to Union, Texas. The trip is long and the trials great. Relationships are made and destroyed. This is an exciting adventure story which relives the endurance of the many families that left the East and headed West for the promise of land and a hope for a better future.   The thirty-five wagon train starts out with everyone having mixed emotions, some sad to leave family and friends, and all excited with the prospects of the future.
 The wagon master is a seasoned veteran with numerous passages to Texas and Oklahoma, but this trip turns out different.   While Jake and Sam adjust from being confederate soldiers locked in daily battles for their lives, they find themselves caught up in the struggles of everyday tasks of moving wagons pulled by ornery animals and lots of tired settlers.  The journey spans over fifteen hundred miles of mountains, rivers, streams, rocks, and primitive trails that serve as a road to the West.
Come ride with us as we travel Westward in wagon and on horse.
