From the Spur Award-winning author, the first in a captivating new
multigenerational saga chronicling the adventures of the pioneering
Harrigan family as they brave crossing the American West, fighting to
survive in the dangerous wilderness--and against even deadlier
people--to forge a better life for themselves.
Mackworth "Mack" Harrigan's family legacy burned to the ground in the
spring of 1849. The Ohio mill that brought them prosperity was now
cinder and ash, and his ruthless father perished in the flames along
with their fortune. If the Harrigans have a future, it lies out west in
open country where they can build whatever lives they choose. Mack knows
his wife Ell, and their children Kane, Meghan, and Fitch are more than
capable of overcoming the challenges of their journey.
For the untamed frontier is full of seriously deadly battles. From a
rough river voyage to wagon train travel across desert lands plagued by
dust storms, the Harrigans encounter desperados and merciless killers
who view them as little more than prey. And as Mack and his family adapt
to their merciless surroundings, they realize they must enforce their
own laws and dispense their own justice. . .
