A Western adventure and romance novel by award-winning author Marsha Ward: AUTOGRAPHED! Specify recipient's name on order (please print).
Carl Owen returns from the Civil War to find the family farm destroyed, food scarce, and his father determined to leave the Shenandoah Valley to build a cattle empire in Colorado Territory. Crossing the continent, Carl falls in love with his brother's fiancee, but he might lose everything he holds dear if a murderous villian has his way. Carl battles outlaws, a prairie fire, blizzards, a trackless waterless desert, and his own brother—all for the hand of feisty Ellen Bates.
"Heartily recommended!"
The Man from Shenandoah is the first book in a series set in post-Civil War times about the Owen family of Virginia and their neighbors. If you prefer to read in sequence, buy this one first. However, each book can stand alone.

Estranged from his family, James Owen leaves home to make a new life.

Their futures are changed forever when their paths merge in a marriage of convenience. James and Amparo undertake a hazardous horseback trek over Raton Pass, battling personal demons, a challenging language barrier, and winter's raging storms. Will their journey end in life or death?
"RIDE TO RATON is as enjoyable as THE MAN FROM SHENANDOAH—maybe more so."
Libbie Custer, Wife of General George A. Custer

The aftermath of the Civil War creates cruel circumstances for the Bingham family. A brutal attack on Jessie's sister, Hannah Fletcher, drives the extended family to flee to the West. They are soon joined by Heppie Bingham's beau George and his brother, Ned, who bring news that the Binghams are being pursued by cronies of Hannah's attacker. Even after they fight off that onslaught, poverty, bad weather, and Hannah's frightful secret plague their journey. Nursing her battered heart when she hears James Owen took a wife, Jessie accepts Ned's offer of marriage. But a stop on the trail holds surprises that launch Jessie into a bewildering tangle of values, emotions, and high adventure.

"I read THE MAN FROM SHENANDOAH and RIDE TO RATON back to back. I have spent some time traveling in the areas in which Marsha Ward set her two books and felt at home during those captivating story settings."
"Marsha, thank you for RIDE TO RATON. Not only do you share the continuing story of the Owen family, with compelling characters, intriguing story line, and well researched historical facts, you also open your heart to your readers and invite them to participate in your love of the old West."
"I finished reading the manuscript to TRAIL OF STORMS last night. It's a very compelling story: as I read it, I didn't want to put it down. The characters come alive on the pages and I have a good sense of who they are, internally and externally. Great story, told very well."
