Book Description
The romance of America, her people, her spirit, and the West. The ongoing story of us. This first book and namesake of the six-novel series is being compared by reviewers and authors to Lonesome Dove and Centennial. The tale bursts with the adventure, romance and promise of historical America and the West. The epic saga of Threads West begins in 1855 with the first of four richly-textured, complex generations of unforgettable characters. The separate lives of these driven men and independent women are drawn to a common destiny that beckons seductively from the wild and remote flanks of the American West. They are swept into the dangerous currents of the far-distant frontier by the mysterious rivers of fate, the power of the land and the American spirit. Their turbulent journeys are heartbreaking quests intertwined with romance and adversity, passions and pathos, despair and triumph. This is not only their story. It is our story. It is Threads West, An American Saga.
Review
Who remembers being captivated by the old west when they were kids. I know my daddy was. Being a kid growing up in the 50s and 60s, he used to watch cowboy shows and play with my toy gun, wishing he was out on the open range. Even though I grew up in a different generation, I still have a love for the old west. I have actually lived in New Mexico so I got to experience the land and scenery for a while too. And there is nothing better than reading a book this vivid and amazing and just picturing the whole story come true. This is a wonderful series for any western lover.
