Aaron Turner is nearing the peak of his success in ranching and other ventures in this eighth and final volume of the Western Quest Series. The story follows the unending series of natural and man-made disasters that forever changed the cattle culture of Texas: epic blizzards and drought, "The Great War," the Spanish influenza epidemic, the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl and the crushing toll that it took on one Texas family. But it also chronicles their resilience, determination and values that saw them through to the other side. Here is a record of hope, redemption, and quiet inner strength as Aaron Turner travels that last trail west that we must all take. May we all do so with the character and dignity of this fine man.STEPHEN L. TURNER is a fifth generation Texan and eighth generation American. His life''s dream was to have a successful rural medical practice, a good ranch with quality cattle and horses, and a fine home for his family. Having attained those goals, he retired from medicine, sold their home and ranch on the plains, and moved with his wife to the south Texas coast. He enjoys the role of grandfather to his three granddaughters and still pursues his writing, hunting and fishing, but now in the shade of live oak and palm trees. He is a member of Sons of Confederate Veterans, Hood''s Texas Brigade Association, the Texas Genealogical Society, and the Western Writers of America. He is the author of the seven other books in the Western Quest Series, all from Sunstone Press.
