WILL ROGERS MEDALLION AWARD winner! Red River Rifles launches Dorothy Wiley's Wilderness Dawning Series, a saga of survival, honor, and love-inspired by true events-on the dangerous southern edge of the Red River. Samuel Wyllie stakes his claim at Pecan Point, a narrow strip of land where beauty and peril stand shoulder to shoulder. He dreams of building a home and a future, but the frontier demands courage at every turn. Louisa Pate arrives with her young brother Adam, fleeing a cruel father who plans to sell her into a marriage with a wealthy filibuster bent on challenging Spanish control of Texas. Denied any chance for happiness, she is determined to survive and protect her little brother. The wilderness itself is an enemy-quicksand, hostile men, and the constant threat of violence-but Louisa refuses to surrender. Samuel repeatedly shields her from disaster, and their bond grows amid hardship, sacrifice, and small mercies. Allies and adversaries shape their fate: Old Bill the solitary trapper, Kuukuh the spirit-like Caddo brave, Doc Baldy, and Samuel's steadfast father and brothers. Wiley's meticulous research brings the era to life-its landscapes, dangers, and the fragile hope that drove settlers west. This clean, emotionally rich historical romance balances gritty frontier action with tender devotion and family loyalty, delivering vivid period detail, high stakes, and a love that earns its happy ending.
