Unlike most western books and movies of today, Broken Trail delivers something a little different. Alan Geoffrion writes of a story entwined with wit, adventure, survival, and of course women. Don't get confused by the women, because it starts out in a different way than expected but ends even better.
A western 'business' woman sends for five young ladies to be sent to America from China to work under her as prostitutes in her hotel and bar. Two unlikely men become part of this story when they decide to drive a humongous herd of mustangs for the army down into a western state together. Along the way the men end up meeting with many different characters who mean well, and some who only mean trouble.
Eventually these two men, Print Ritter and Tom, cross paths with these five women and finally come to the conclusion that they cannot allow for harm to come upon them.
Is there love between one of these five women and either Print Ritter, or Tom? Of course there is, but it's true love... not the kind of 'love' where two only want to sleep together.
But the most fantastic part of this story is, it's a true story... and it will keep you laughing, crying, and turning every page unstoppably until you are finished wanting more.
