The Long Trail Home, by Christy Award winning western author Stephen Bly
Book 3 in the Fortunes of the Black Hills western family saga novels is a prodigal son story of redemption, forgiveness and restoration. Sam Fortune discovers the only way to escape the consequences of the past. Face the people left behind.
“I told you this wouldn’t work, Lord. The day I got out of prison, I said it wouldn’t work. I’ve played it straight. I haven’t broken one law. And what do I have? Dirt in my throat, holes in my socks, and sore feet. It’s just not workin’. If you bend a stick long enough, it can’t ever straighten out.”
War Changes People
For the Fortune family of Coryell County, Texas, drastic changes happened. The ranch lost, mother and twin daughters gone, the family drifted north to the Black Hills. That is, all except prodigal Samuel, the middle son, who headed for Indian Territory that would one day be Oklahoma. Here he settled into a a life of reprisal against any and all that he felt wronged him or his family. That led to an outlaw life of robbing banks, trains and freight companies.
The Prodigal
But God never gives up on one of His own. Nor does Brazos Fortune, Samuel’s father. Released from prison and on the run from former partners who now accuse him of turning on them, Sam goes broke and escapes on foot in the wild country of western Indian Territory. Finally, he trails toward the Black Hills to find out why his father’s favorite gun was mailed to him. This story of God’s grace and family loyalty and forgiveness blazes with action and heartwarming humor.
The Long Trail Home features a family restoration, but also a heavenly reunion. The story demonstrates God’s grace and His love for guilty sinners in defiance of what they deserve. THE LONG TRAIL HOME
