As newlyweds in 1853, Daniel and Mary Anna Thronton dream of carving out an empire on the Texas frontier. When the opportunity comes to settle land on the Brazos River, the young couple is unprepared for just how much the dream will cost: storms, indian conflicts, drought, war, disease, and death. Where will Daniel and Mary Anna find the strength to raise a family and make a home in such harsh conditions? Love and faith are their only wealth but even that will be defeated.

Awesome book. Great trials and tribulations!
