Son of the Mountain

By M.J. Hayes

A tragic life. An unlikely friendship. An epic adventure. "Come with us and be whatever you want, or go out there and be nothing." Money, power, prestige--Josiah Brown had it all, and with only a week remaining until the upcoming election it seemed he could count on adding the governor's chair to that list as well. But when a scandal surfaces that threatens to bring his entire empire crashing to the ground, he is forced to come clean and tell his family the truth about who he really is, where he came from, and how he managed to become one of the richest and most powerful men in the state of Texas. A story of tragedy, love, loss, redemption, and adventure, as two young boys--one a wild orphan raised by Comanches, the other an escaped slave--struggle to forge and maintain a friendship amidst the violent and turbulent world of the pre Civil War American West. Will that friendship stand the test of time, or will it come back to haunt a now powerful man on the eve of his greatest conquest? Author's note: This story contains historically accurate dialogue and situations that may seem offensive to a modern audience.
