HAWKE

Tom Hawke, a veteran of the War Between the States, goes West to find a new  life.    

Cattle  drives, gun  fights and running from the  law bring  him to   a   small   

ranch   in Colorado. Here  a  young  mother  of two children is fighting a losing  

battle for  survival against     the     elements,   horse thieves  and   greedy 

ranchers.

Tom  finds  in  this  new  territory his   partners from his past.  Together they 

fight for the future of the BAR NONE ranch.

Tom Hawke is my hero in this story. He is a man with a past  of which he is not too proud.  

 He is a person who struggles with right and wrong as well as dishonor versus honor. His old 

partners show up, and in their  unique manner  provide Hawke with friendship and support. 

 It is a story of building relationships..  It  is a story of honor, loyalty,  pain  

and  love.  Is it possible for Hawke to find contentment of spirit and even love?    

History has always been an interest, and I have enjoyed historical fiction.  It has been the 

frontier of American History that has been so intriguing, because there we have observed the moral 

and historical struggles that men and women face in creating a future.
