Shadows of Revenge

Continues the story that began with Days of Purgatory. The sequel is an adventure mystery set in and around Abilene, Kansas, in 1872. Deacon Coburn, a realist galvanized by his past, is startled when remnants of yesteryear track him down. Longing and brokenness are everywhere.

A headstrong orphan girl seeks to live out her dreams; a childless widow pursues meaning; a reformed prostitute desires a return to her childhood faith; a young man makes tragic choices. It''s a tale of hope and redemption. No matter how ugly our past, every individual can choose new beginnings.

In the words of a stealthy drifter, "Hope is always nearby, as sure as thunder follows lightning. Search your heart. Hope is there to lead you onward."
