Exiles of Paradise — Robert M. Fells

This second volume in the STYX CROSSING saga finds the scrappy parson riding into a lynching and swindled by the local cattle barons over funds to build the church. The challenges of nature and of man in building a frontier town can shake faith in God or make it stronger. Rebecca, Jeb Jackson, Red, Doc Taylor, and other colorful characters return in this tale of the 1870s life in northern Texas.
