The Wounds of My Father
Roccie Hill
1883, San Antonio. John Ives, the privileged son of a powerful tycoon, is sent to oversee his family’s ventures in the brutal swamps of Tampico, Mexico. But a fateful return to Texas instead sets him on a collision course with Stella Moore, a fiercely independent schoolteacher searching for her missing sister, and Peter Olenbush, a reckless ally with his own secrets.
As corruption festers in the shadows of progress, John’s quest for redemption is haunted by his family’s dark legacy and a murder that refuses to stay buried. In a city simmering with violence, greed, and betrayal, John must navigate the dangerous intersections of love, guilt, and survival.
