A Texas Legacy Family Saga - Book 3 Just before the Civil War, in the dark corners of the New Orleans waterfront, Billy Jefferson's dreams are yanked from him before he'd barely walked off the ship from Scotland. In the summer of 1860, America is a tinder box, ready to blow. Issues of states' rights, slavery and regionalism have come to a boiling point. Citizens across the South are willing to fight and die to maintain their Southern way of life. The South is a tough place to be if you disagree with that philosophy. It's especially tough if you are a free person of color or their friends. Billy Jefferson, a young scholar raised on the Texas frontier, now a professor with dreams of teaching freed blacks like himself, returns to America after years of obtaining an education abroad only to disappear upon landing at New Orleans. When Billy fails to return from Europe as scheduled, Will Bowman, Billy's mentor, Texas ranching business partner and surrogate father initiates a search to find and bring him home. Join the continuing saga of the Bowman and Jefferson families as they search for the young man with a vision for his people that will change their lives for generations. Follow the families at the ranch as the war changes everything around them and makes them outcasts in the state they helped build.
