The Synopsis

Blessings from the Four Winds is a novel inspired by the life of the author’s great-grandfather who, as a young man, worked as a cowboy on cattle drives driving herds from Waco, Texas to Dodge City, Kansas. It was during one of these cattle drives that he happens upon a beautiful Choctaw girl. Set in 1885, the storyline follows their forbidden courtship and his rivalry with the Chief’s son for her hand. In the beginning, the Indian girl rejects all of his amorous attempts to win her affection, until he devises a way for her to consider him as a serious suitor and end the rivalry once and for all. This story culminates with the sharing of Native-American, Euro-American, and African-American traditions witnessed by a multi-cultural set of characters whose lives are reluctantly forged together.
