Can beauty truly come from ashes? Gone to Texas uncovers a deception that drives seventeen souls to a hard choice: stay on as sharecroppers or heed the lure of free land in the faraway wilderness of a new Republic. Rife with peril and adversity, three families knit together by blood and friendship through Liberty O'Neal, head out with Corbin Harrell, a widowed man, his daughter, and slave, gambling everything on the prospect of land ownership and working it together. Two of the young people, Alicia Van Zandt and Flynn O'Neal forge a special bond, but can friendship and puppy-love survive a harrowing covered wagon journey to blossom into a forever love and marriage? With duress at every turn, the clan stays together to accomplish their goals. See how they do it in Book One of Thanksgiving Books & Blessings Collection and the Cross Timbers Family Saga series by this best-selling, award-winning author.

In this world, you will have tribulation.In 1861, a tragic war fell upon America's United States, dividing them North against South. Some might say a young woman can't be too fussy when almost every unattached young man is off fighting, but that shouldn't mean the daughter of a Union man has any excuse for canoodling with a Rebel. Still, eighteen-year-old Gigi longed for true love, and the dashing Texas Ranger turned Confederate vies for her heart. How will they overcome the odds and a war to be together? A Civil War indeed, such an oxymoron!

A spunky young widow hires a farmhand with a bad reputation to help her get her cotton to Jefferson to meet the wagon train, and sparks fly—but can she love a man who doesn’t love the Lord?Susannah Abbot Baylor reluctantly hires Henry Buckmeyer to help her along the Jefferson Trace, the hard stretch of land between her Texas farm and the cotton market, where she is determined to get a fair price for her crop. It’s been a rough year, and she’s in danger of losing the land her husband left to her and the children, but she’ll need help getting both of her wagons to Jefferson safely. She knows Henry’s reputation as a layabout and is prepared for his insolence, but she is not expecting his irresistible good looks or his gentle manner. Soon they are entwined in a romantic relationship that only gets more complicated when Susannah learns that Henry doesn’t know God the way she does. Dangers arise on the road—but none as difficult as the trial her heart is going through. Will Susannah and Henry’s love overcome their differences? And will she get her crop safely to the cotton market with enough money to save the farm? In this heartening and adventurous tale, a young woman’s fortitude, faith, and heart are put to the ultimate test.
