This Promised Land: A Western Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781639779062)

Award-winning author Harlan Hague takes readers on an unforgettable journey of loss, resilience, and the search for a new beginning.

After the devastating loss of his beloved wife, Wes Haag finds himself grappling with grief and the daunting task of starting over. Determined to create a fresh start for himself and his young son, he embarks on a treacherous cattle drive from Texas to Kansas-and a land of new possibilities.

Amidst the unforgiving landscapes and unpredictable weather, Wes encounters Christina Browning, a young schoolteacher burdened by her own demons. As they forge a connection amidst harsh challenges, they find solace in each other's company. But their hopes for a peaceful life are threatened when a ruthless rancher sets his sights on their land, unleashing a battle for survival.

Bound by a shared sense of justice, Wes and Christina befriend an old Kansas Indian who seeks solace in his ancestral lands, and they lend their support to a group of black Exodusters-former slaves yearning for their own Promised Land. As racial prejudice and violence escalate, Wes and Chrissie become determined to protect those who are marginalized, challenging the injustices that plague their community.
