Beyond the River — Wynema McGowan

THERE WAS A TIME ... when the frontier stretched as far as the eye could see ... justice was swift and death swifter...and only the brave and the lucky survived. And in the hill country of central Texas, a lonely stagecoach outpost became a fortress under siege, as twelve Texans took up their guns against a hundred and fifty raiding Comanche...

BEYOND THE RIVER is the sweeping saga of a time and a place that will never exist again. It is the unforgettable story of a group of men and women trapped by rising rivers, who refuse to give in or give up ... of Amy Kay Ormsby, fighting to save her young son ... of U.S. Cavalry Lt. Nathan Doubletree, caught up in the most savage battle of his life for the land and the woman he loved.

A sprawling, big-hearted epic in the blockbuster tradition of Larry McMurtry and James Michener, BEYOND THE RIVER recreates the grit and glory of the old West that made men into outlaws or heroes ... and turned one man into a legend.
