Can beauty truly come from ashes? Gone to Texas uncovers a deception that drives seventeen souls to a hard choice: stay on as sharecroppers or heed the lure of free land in the faraway wilderness of a new Republic. Rife with peril and adversity, three families knit together by blood and friendship through Liberty O'Neal, head out with Corbin Harrell, a widowed man, his daughter, and slave, gambling everything on the prospect of land ownership and working it together. Two of the young people, Alicia Van Zandt and Flynn O'Neal forge a special bond, but can friendship and puppy-love survive a harrowing covered wagon journey to blossom into a forever love and marriage? With duress at every turn, the clan stays together to accomplish their goals. See how they do it in Book One of Thanksgiving Books & Blessings Collection and the Cross Timbers Family Saga series by this best-selling, award-winning author.
