Hope is hard to come by in the hard-luck town of Willow Creek.
Sam Pickett and five young men are about to change that. Sam
Pickett never expected to settle in this dried-up shell of a town
on the western edge of the world. He's come here to hide from the
violence and madness that have shattered his life, but what he
finds is what he least expects. There's a spirit that endures in
Willow Creek, Montana. It seems that every inhabitant of this
forgotten outpost has a story, a reason for taking a detour to this
place--or a reason for staying. As the coach of the hapless high
school basketball team (zero wins, ninety-three losses), Sam can't
help but be moved by the bravery he witnesses in the everyday lives
of people--including his own young players--bearing their sorrows
and broken dreams. How do they carry on, believing in a future that
seems to be based on the flimsiest of promises? Drawing on the
strength of the boys on the team, sharing the hope they display
despite insurmountable odds, Sam finally begins to see a future
worth living.Author Stanley Gordon West has filled the town of
Willow Creek with characters so vividly cast that they become real
as relatives, and their stories--so full of humor and passion, loss
and determination--illuminate a path into the human heart. "

to give up his home, but that was before he, too, succumbs to the
ranch's--and a young cowgirl's--wild beauty.

Imagine a place populated by criminals - people plucked from their
lives, with their memories altered, who've been granted new
identities and a second chance. Welcome to The Blinds, a dusty town
in rural Texas populated by misfits who don't know if they've
perpetrated a crime or just witnessed one. All they do know is that
they opted into the programme and that if they try to leave, they
will end up dead.For eight years, Sheriff Calvin Cooper has kept an
uneasy peace - but after a suicide and a murder in quick
succession, the town's residents revolt. Cooper has his own secrets
to protect, so when his new deputy starts digging, he needs to keep
one step ahead of her - and the mysterious outsiders who threaten
to tear the whole place down. The more he learns, the more the hard
truth is revealed: The Blinds is no sleepy hideaway, it's simmering
with violence and deception, heartbreak and betrayal, and it's fit
to burst.

John Russell was raised as an Apache, and even served as a
member of the tribal police. Now the time has come for him to leave
the San Carlos reservation far behind and live again as a white
man. The stagecoach passengers he's traveling with want nothing to
do with this man they call "Hombre," forcing him to ride in the
boot with the driver. But they change their tune when outlaws ride
down on them. Suddenly they all must rely on Russell's guns and his
ability to survive in the desert. They shunned John Russell, and
now they must follow him . . . or die.
The saga of Cynthia Ann Parker is well known to historians of the
Texas frontier and readers of historical fiction. Kidnapped from
Parker's Fort near Mexia by raiding Comanches in 1836, she was
completely assimilated into the Noconi band. She married tribal
leader Peta Nocona and bore him two sons, Quanah and Pecos, and a
daughter, Toh-Tsee-Ah. Late in 1860, she and toddler Topsannah (as
the whites called her) were recaptured by Texas Rangers and
returned to "civilization" and the extended Parker clan.
Cynthia Ann never adapted to white culture. She was shunted from
one Parker family to another, living in constant grief and
doubt--about herself and her daughter and about the fate of her
Comanche family still on the prairies. Convinced she was a captive
of the Texans, Cynthia Ann was determined to escape to the high
plains and the Comanche way. The Parkers neither cared for nor
understood Cynthia Ann's obsession with returning to her homeland
and her people.
Charles Brashear's thoroughly researched and vividly realistic
novel, "Killing Cynthia Ann," tells the story as it might have
happened and turns it into a compelling and unforgettable
drama.
"Basing his fictional speculation on a careful reading of the
historical record, Brashear chronicles the heartbreaking descent
into despair of a proud woman who could not forget her warrior
husband and two sons. . . The public] will appreciate this
engrossing novel, which can also supply a personal perspective to
supplement history texts."--"Library Journal"
