Stem of the Wildflower

This book is the beginning. It has its own heartbeat that comes to life on paper.

Abe Baxter was a big man. He never backed down from a fight, and he never started one he couldn't finish. He was tough, brave and honest to a fault. He traveled across the open prairie with his wife, Becky to make a home in the West.

The journey was tough for his wife especially with the responsibility of twin daughters. Their demanding independence grew with each passing day. As Becky's patience waned. The Mighty One had played a bad trick on Abe. He'd wanted sons! He got daughters! In fact they were so identical their own mother couldn't tell them apart.

It was nothing less than a miracle the day they landed at the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains. Its beauty was breathtaking. "This is it!" Abe stated. "We're home." Each twin held their dad's hand. They gazed into his trusting brown eyes and smiled. He was their rock.

So, the story begins. Abe Baxter. Becky Baxter, Liza Baxter. Lizzie Baxter. Sarah Baxter. Together they built a dynasty out of lumber, cattle, wild horses and true grit. The pages will tell the heartache, tears, loss, fear, joy and love this family lives through to survive life in the West.

Love of the Blood

Liza and Lizzie Baxter. Identical twin sisters in every way. The two of them ramrod the Lazy AB Ranch. If the traders or buyers didn't like dealing with women, well, they had no problem showing them the way out the gate with a rifle.

They rode hard and they play hard. The trust they had for the people they love becomes strained like a piece of weathered rope. Too many happenings going on at the ranch neither woman can explain. A dark shadow has found a way into their protected world like a fox in the henhouse. It brought with it heartache and destruction. It needs to be rooted out like an infected tooth.

When an unspoken moral oath, gets brutally shattered like mirrored glass the violated lovers feel the prick of the dying blood. The jagged pieces rain down on the Baxter family like honed sabers.

"Now, you come one step closer, you filthy bandit, and I'll put these pieces of lead right through your sagging gut!" the older woman stated.

But, The Mighty One sees all which will bring certain death to the wrong doer. But, to whom? The trickster, the Fox, or the Wolf?
