The Dividing Season is a well researched retrospective tale of how
one group of people coped with the pitfalls of living on the cusp
of a new era in American History. Trail riding days are all but
dead, the Mexican Revolution has crossed the border into West
Texas, drought nearly choked the life out of the cattle industry
and oil has been discovered in East Texas. Nell Miggins, the
central character, realizes she can no longer manage her ranch as
it had been for the last three generations. She doesn't know which
way to turn, feels something vital missing from her life even
though she's felt blessedly happy up until that one springtime when
everything in her life gets turned upside down. As a result, she
makes the guilt-ridden decision to sell her ranch. While organizing
her last cattle round up and sale, a group of men attacked by
Mexican bandits show up in need of shelter, a windmiller arrives to
repair a windmill essential to ranch operations and Nell is forced
to hire a shady character from Alabama for help in herding her
cattle to town. Plot twists are chock full of action and will hold
readers spellbound. Characters are as unique as the country they
live in. Early comments: ..".the story is unpredictable...can't
wait to turn the page to see what's next..." ..".characters come to
life with those small, intimate details only a practiced eye
detects..." ..".an extraordinary landscape and time and people who
loved experiencing both in spite of the hardships.
