Six Year’s Worth

By Daniel Lance Wright 

Without a home or hope, suicide seems the only way for Pop to achieve elusive peace of mind. He carries the means to accomplish it. It’s a comforting thought.

With little reason, other than to escape the harsh winters of Chicago, Pop heads south on a freight train and gets off in the small farming community of Green Meadow, Texas. The suicide alternative looms large as a downtown diner refuses to serve him. But, then, a six-year-old boy holding out a cup of coffee to him changes everything. Pop’s education on relearning to live begins.

Broken Trail
by Alan Geoffrion

This novel was an AMC Original Movie starring Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church.

A "bowed and bandy-legged old cowboy," Print Ritter is a man with miles of dusty trail under his well-worn belt. When his sister dies and leaves all she owns to him, Print feels it's only right to take her estranged son under his wing. The two horsemen – one old, one young – set off to seek their fortune on a last, long drive across the West. But the simple rhythm and reverie of trail life doesn't last, and before long they find themselves risking everything to save five kidnapped Chinese girls from a life of prostitution. Thus begins an epic and perilous journey that changes forever the fates of these young women, their unlikely guardians and the other characters they meet along the way.

"Broken Trail" is a heartfelt, thinking-man's Western that infuses sensibility and humor into the grim realities of the Old West. It is a truly authentic story of fates intertwined, of old hearts finding new purpose and of the arduous road to right choices.
