Trails of Promise

By K L Ligon

Fleeing Southerners, freed slaves, outlaws, immigrant settlers, and descendants of pirates, along with native Mexicans and Indians, are some of the people woven into the colorful tapestry that was Texas following the U S Civil War. Jeremiah, a Georgia boy, is running for his life after his parents die. Kathleen, a Texas ranch wife, is waiting - her husband fails to return from a day trip to town. James, a soldier seeking a new life, finds a Mexican girl and her grandfather in trouble, a blue-eyed Comanche, and a beautiful ship captain.
Seeking a home, answers, and a sense of self, strong, independent characters are running, waiting, and searching as the war ends and a nation heals. Overcoming a challenging landscape, physical and financial hardships, and personal struggles during a time of Martial Law and Visa passes, they come together in surprising ways as a mystery is solved and some find romance along the Trails of Promise.
