Hushed And Grim

"No. That's it. You don't get it. I have nothing. No family, no home, no one to miss me. I'm tired of this life anyway. Just do me a favor and do it now." The old man dropped his smirk and stared at the cowboy for a long spell. He got up, walked over to a shelf and took down a bottle Jesse hadn't noticed before. The old man walked over to him and poured some of it into the open spot on his head. "That's just plain sad, son," he said. "I finally met a man more pitiful than me."

The struggle for survival can get messy; and that's for those who care. It get's downright ugly for those who don't.

Jesse's journey of last resort has him pressing onward by an unknown force driving him back to the very ground he'd cursed before leaving ten years prior. He crosses paths with a curious character who is thought to be an assassin named Maxwell Calkinmyer, receives a partially shot off ear compliments of Crazy Mary, and is shaken silly by a curmudgeon by the name of Levon.

Getting There, the first book in the All Roads Lead Home saga reveals Jesse's rich Scot-Wichita heritage as he treks up north to winter in Wyoming. Not by choice. He's just flat run out of places that will take him. Along the way, he travels back in time to his roots where his Native American grandmother's tales span over eighty years across pre-Indian Territory linking his past, present, and future generations.

Getting There is an emotion-yanking, laugh-triggering, thought-provoking tale of betrayal, mystery, suspense, action, and adventure with more twists than a secondhand bread tie.

L. L. Ward, a prodigal native Oklahoman, takes you for a ride beginning in the early 1800s and brings it on home to present day through the course of this seven book All Roads Lead Home series.
