Leroy is a 15-year-old teen in 1870 who is on a quest to find his brothers. Along the trail he finds more than a brother -- he finds a family. Leroy, age 15, rides his faithful mule, Molly, from Tennessee to Texas in 1870 in search of his brothers. He has numerous adventures along the way, including dangerous river crossings, a forest fire and a budding romance with the lovely Cora. He deals with life, death and birth. He also wrestles with anger and hatred, but ultimately realizes he must forgive. When he joins a wagon train, he is embraced by the Willett family and experiences and builds relationships that help him to become a confident young man.

Karen Griffin is the great granddaughter of Leroy Stockard. As a child, she heard numerous interesting stories about him from her grandfather. She actually grew up in the home that Leroy built in the late 1800s in the small west Texas town of Santa Anna, which he helped to establish. Karen has worked as a corporate writer, an English teacher and a homemaker and has taught Sunday school and Bible studies. This is her first novel.
