River of Dreams

In 1841 Alabama, Ethan Hayes worked long days hammering red-hot iron. He was good at it, and he knew he was good, but his heart wasn’t in it. With the passing of each day, part of him died; it was only a matter of time before he walked away from the forge and left it all behind.
The death of his mentor sets in motion events that propel him toward his dream. The deranged killer of his mentor follows him across three states, and on the waters of the meandering Mississippi River.
He envisions a woman by his side on his river of dreams, and he believes it could be Cassandra, a beautiful young woman with a mysterious, seductive power over him until he meets Abigail. He struggles with his feelings for these women until he learns of one’s unspeakable past with the killer of his mentor.
Ethan’s dogged grit in facing down his savage and treacherous attacker proves to be his greatest strength, and the reader will be with him as he takes on those who stand between him and his river of dreams.
