Gone to Texas

a Historical Christian Romance Novel

Book One

Can beauty truly come from ashes?

Gone to Texas uncovers a deception that drives seventeen souls to a hard choice: stay on as sharecroppers or heed the lure of free land in the faraway wilderness of a new Republic.

Rife with peril and adversity, three families knit together by blood and friendship through Liberty O’Neal, head out with Corbin Harrell, a widowed man, his daughter, and slave, gambling everything on the prospect of land ownership and working it together.

Two of the young people, Alicia Van Zandt and Flynn O’Neal forge a special bond, but can friendship and puppy-love survive a harrowing covered wagon journey to blossom into a forever love and marriage?

With duress at every turn, the clan stays together to accomplish their goals. See how they do it in Book One of Thanksgiving Books & Blessings Collection and the Cross Timbers Family Saga series by this best-selling, award-winning author.

This book is SO GOOD that you will find yourself immersed in it to the level of being friends with the people in the book. The author does not just tell a story, but has written a story that will bring you into it as one of the travelers.
