ONE TURN OF THE CARDS
Orphaned as an infant,
Austin Robinson was adopted by his uncle and given a new start in life in
pre-Civil War Falls County, Texas. After a youth filled with long days of toil
in the Texas sun, he is a successful cotton planter. His hard work is sweetened
by the joy of a happy marriage and a cherished new son, until a Brazos River
flood levels his plantation and kills his family. In a drunken depression he
shoots down an unarmed man. Rescued by his uncle once again, he is bailed out
and sent to war to watch over Billy Jones, his uncle's impetuous son. They join
Terry's Texas Rangers, a Confederate cavalry regiment, where Billy is elected
lieutenant. Serving alongside famed leaders Nathan B. Forrest and Joe Wheeler,
can Austin keep Billy and himself alive in the losing battle against the threats
of disease, starvation, the elements and the overwhelming Union forces?
