War changes people. For the Fortune family of Coryell County, Texas, the changes were drastic. The ranch was lost, mother and twin daughters died, and the family drifted north to the Black Hills. That is, all except Samuel, the middle son. He headed for the Indian Territory that would one day be Oklahoma and settled in to a life of reprisal against any and all that he felt had wronged him or his family. That meant an outlaw life of robbing banks, trains, and freight companies. But the Holy Spirit never gives up on one of His own . . .nor does Brazos Fortune, Samuel's father. Having been released from prison, and on the run from former partners who now accuse him of turning on them, Sam finds himself broke and on foot in the wild country of western Indian Territory. THE LONG TRAIL HOME is not just a story of a family reunion, but one of a heavenly reunion. It's a demonstration of God's grace and His love for guilty sinners in defiance of what they deserve.
