The Reckoning: a Short Western Historical Story Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
In 1818, when Gavin McAllistair was only eleven years old, his father took him from his home among his mother's people, the Shoshone of the Shining Mountains, and left him with an uncle and aunt to learn how to be a white man. Gavin bitterly resented the move at first, but gradually learned to live in the white man's village. He appreciated his kind aunt and uncle and tried to please them, learning to read, write and work the fields.

Yet he never stopped yearning for the home of his youth in those Shining Mountains.

The people of the white village reviled him because of his Native American blood. The children taunted and tortured him at every opportunity. But no one succeeded in killing the Shoshone boy inside him—Buffalo Brother.

Finally, the day came when Gavin could take the abuse no more. Read The Reckoning and learn what became of him.

Hello and welcome to my author page. Let me tell you a little about myself, as that seems to be the main purpose of this profile. Believe it or not, I began my fiction career in the third grade when I told my class that a little sister I never had died of a black widow bite. I also wrote books through my teen years, always about a girl whose mother mistreated her by making her wash dishes, sweep the floor... you get the idea. Never finished any of those stories. But the idea of writing a real book and publishing it never occurred to me. It was a particularly vivid dream that drove me to drag out a portable typewriter and go to work on my first novel. In 1990 my second completed book, Tender Touch, brought me a first place win in a writing contest and the following year became a Golden Heart Finalist. That won me an agent and a contract from Kensington who published five of my western historical romance novels. My books have placed or won in other contests as well. Forever Mine received a Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award nomination. I've always loved the Old West and I believe my novels reflect that emotion through their depth and vibrancy. I am always working on a new story. I hope you try my books and enjoy them. Follow me here on my author page and on my website at https://charleneraddon.com & get a free book.

A very short but interesting read, as Charlene's books always are. I enjoyed reading Gavin's story and glad he ended up with a good life after all the hurt, etc., as a young child. JudyE
