The six-book series about four generations of the Morgan family living,
fighting, and thriving amidst a turbulent Texas history spanning from 1845 to 1896
begins with Lone Star Trail.
Judson (Jud) Morgan's father
died for Texas' freedom during the war for independence. So when the Society
for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas (the Verein) attempts to colonize
a New Germany in his country, he takes a stand against them.
After Wande Fleischers'
fiancée marries someone else, the young fraulein determines to make new life for
herself in Texas. With the help of Jud's sister Marion, Wande learns English
and becomes a trusted friend to the entire Morgan family.
As much as Jud dislikes
the German invasion, he can't help admiring Wande. She is sweet and cheerful
as she serves the Lord and all those around her. Can the rancher put aside
his prejudice to forge a new future?
Through Jud and Wande, we learn the powerful
lessons of forgiveness and reconciliation among a diverse community of believers.
