Inhaltsangabe

Two brothers, one dream-and the fight to become Texas legends. With the gritty authenticity of a true cowboy, bestselling author Dusty Richards weaves a moving coming-of-age story set against the rugged landscapes of Civil War-era South Texas. Twin brothers Andrew and Jackson Franks have spent their lives under the harsh rule of their father, Pryor. When a violent outburst shatters their family, leaving their mother dead and Pryor gone, the brothers are left to fend for themselves on their hardscrabble ranch. Andrew is the planner, while Jackson is the stubborn workhorse, and both dream of escaping the dust to become real Texas cattlemen. But dreams alone won't be enough. The law demands they have a guardian, and fate brings them a surprise in the form of Sophie Grenada, a widowed cousin from Arkansas. Tough, smart, and fiercely independent, Sophie arrives with a determination that matches the boys' own. As they navigate Indian raids, range wars, and the brutal work of building a ranch, the three form an unbreakable bondAs they navigate Comanche raids, range wars, and the brutal work of building a ranch, the three form an unbreakable bond-two boys thrust into a man's world before their time, and a woman who loves and cares for them as her own. With Sophie's guidance, Andrew and Jackson may just carve out the legacy they've always hoped for and become the real Pride of Texas.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dusty Richards grew up riding horses and watching his western heroes on the big screen. He even wrote book reports for his classmates, making up westerns since English teachers didn't read that kind of book. His mother, though, didn't want him to be a cowboy, so he went to college, then worked for Tyson Foods and auctioned cattle when he wasn't an anchor on television.His lifelong dream, though, was to write the novels he loved. He sat on the stoop of Zane Grey's cabin and promised he'd one day get published, as well. In 1992, that promise became a reality when his first book, Noble's Way, hit the shelves. In the years since, he's published over 160 more, winning nearly every major award for western literature along the way. His 150th novel, The Mustanger and the Lady, was adapted for the silver screen and released as the motion picture Painted Woman in 2017. In a review for the movie, True West magazine proclaimed Dusty "the greatest living western fiction writer alive." Sadly, Dusty passed away in early 2018, leaving behind a legion of fans and a legacy of western writing that will live on for generations.
