"The Crushing of Wild Mint" is a family saga told through daring
adventure and sweet romance, a rags-to-riches story showing both
the good and evil that go with having money.
"I've seen money do incredibly good things, or in this case, it
seems to have made us a target." The money meant nothing to
Harrison. His only concern was his daughter. He would gladly pay
the ransom.
Dexter Hughes and Farley Briggs were hungry for more than food
as they waited, watching the party from outside the Windham home.
They were sick of running and sick of each other but would endure
if it meant getting a lot of money. Now they were sizing up the
people of the town, separating rich from poor. It was always good
to know whom to threaten, who would pay, who could not.
Step back in time and enjoy a "relaxing" summer in the small
town of Caney.
