Dakota Jack
by Cal McEachern
In the lawless years before New Mexico became a state, a good-hearted drifter named Dakota Jack crosses a sunburned desert and stumbles upon the burned remains of a ranch - and a frightened boy hiding in the ashes.
When Jack learns the boy's mother has been taken by the raiders who destroyed their home, he rides north to bring her back, setting off a chain of events that will change all their lives.
What begins as a rescue becomes something deeper: the building of a new life in a quiet valley where peace must be earned and defended. With the help of Abel, an aging marksman with a restless soul, Jack and Nora Cross carve a home out of the wilderness and face the past that refuses to stay buried.
Set against the sweeping beauty of the New Mexico Territory, Dakota Jack is a story of redemption, family, and the long road to belonging - where a man learns that sometimes, the hardest thing isn't fighting for peace... it's learning to live in it.
