In Book Two 1848-1891 of this biographical fiction series, Sarah Ridge Paschal arrives in Galveston in 1848 with her husband and three children. There as a divorced, independent woman she builds a rewarding life while enduring the death of another child, hurricanes, and yellow fever epidemics. Marrying a man much her junior and bearing another son, Sarah Pix trades her city property for an isolated homeplace on 500 acres of prairie ranchland across Galveston Bay. As a determined pioneer, she encounters a bitter land encroachment, the privations of the Civil War, cattle rustling, and heartbreaking adversities that rip her soul.
