Historical Western Romance Description

“Boys, I got something to tell you. You getting up in years, and I ain’t got nothin’ more to give you. Get your shoes. The best bet for y'all is to hoof it to Memphis.”

​

Set in the late 1800s, this Ranch Romance novel opens with young brothers William and Finn Sullivant, who live with their mother and stepfather. The family travels in two oxen-drawn covered wagons, laden with their belongings, as they roam in search of farm work.

​

They occasionally receive free lodging from farmers if an abandoned cabin is available. They use their oxen to clear stumps in the fields for the farmers. In the winter, they gathered firewood to sell to anyone who is interested.

​

Each day was a struggle for the brothers to tolerate their stepfather. Showing no compassion or concern, he eventually told the boys that they were old enough to begin their own journey. Overwhelmed by their hatred for their stepfather and gripped by fear, they said their farewells to their mother and set off towards the river, wearing worn-out shoes and carrying a bag of jerky, with the intention of boarding a ferry to cross over to Memphis, a bustling river port filled with bars and prostitutes.

 

In a few years, through hard work, William set off to Texas to carry out his dream of being a ranch owner. It didn’t happen quickly, but a strange twist of events made it possible for him to gain his ranch, and after meeting his suffragette ranch-owning neighbor who loved riding broncs, he set out to slowly gain her attention and love. A modern woman, she declared no man would hold authority over her. But Miss Lilli Eberly had never met a man like William. Lilli is a Historical Western Novel to remember.
