The Orphan's Last Cattle Drive: A Classic Western Adventure Novel

When a Texas tornado hits Jake Jones’ ranch, he loses everything. Orphaned and stripped of his home, wealth and social status, he has no other choice but to take matters into his own hands. With only a couple of ranch hands and a thousand cattle left, he must lead them to the nearest market. With all his money now gone, Jake cannot take the train car, but has to do it the hard, old-fashioned way…

Preparing for the most grueling cattle drive of his life, will he rise to meet the challenge?

Annie Rose Parker has lost her husband in the storm. An Irish immigrant, she is neither here nor there and bitterly alone, but must quickly learn to fend for herself. When she is left penniless, yet proud, she comes to Jack’s door seeking employment. Holding her head high, she is determined to prove she can hold her own as their trail drive cook.

Is there any chance she can learn to trust a stranger?

As the two of them set out on the drive, neither is prepared for the innumerable dangers their path is fraught with. With rustlers, accidents, and the wilderness challenging their journey, are they ready to learn that unity makes strength and learn how to care for each other? With no experience and too few helpers to do the job, will they manage to reach their destination or will their dreams of starting anew forever remain another desert apparition?
