A Cowboy's Quest

An orphan makes his own path in adventure-and endures horrific trials-when his heart is lassoed by cowboy dreams.

Ten-year-old Boyd Lee Parker loses his parents during the Civil War. Despite his tragic start in life, a kind sergeant adopts him. But after he's murdered, being a cowboy in the American West proves to be the perfect escape for Boyd...even if it means also leaving behind his first love.

But Boyd's hopes are soon dashed when he buys land in Texas only to have it swindled away from him. Spiraling into addiction and bad choices, like selling his prized stallion for a bottle of booze, Boyd fights for years to become the person he needs to be for a second chance. When papers prove the land is still his, will this cowboy get his redemption?

A Cowboy's Quest blends lesser-known facts with suspenseful fiction in a story featuring a classic cattle ranch setting for every Western lover.
