About the Book
In Book #2, Bill Sullivan's search for mustangs ends in the discovery of a young, lone survivor in the wilds of Montana, he does his best as a father, and a Christian, to care for the child. However, the boy's scars, both physical and emotional, run as deep and as long as the Rocky Mountains that surrounds him.
Meanwhile, Sean Thomas does his best to evade the hangman's noose, by living in the mountains of Montana and becoming a shadow throughout the town of Fort Benton. But his acquaintances with the riffraff of this new territory: whores, bank robbers and whisky smugglers...keep him on his heels.
In the words of Mandy's song, it's a story of love, sadness, excitement, and courage with life's lessons, the most truthful being, 'life is not fair'. And despite that, one still has in his heart, the ability to FORGIVE.
*******************************************************************************************************
‘Montana Son’ is written like a Laura Ingalls-Wilder novel, but with less than perfect characters filling the pages, in towns hindered by more than just God-awful weather and incurable disease. It’s chock-full of idioms, cowboy expressions, and historical facts.
