Set in Texas, near the Mexican border, it is a story of an Oilman near Houston who gives his ranch back to descendants of the Mexican family who lost it in 1836. This brings the world to his door, with both praise and criticism. It makes him an instant celebrity on an international level and changes his life forever, making him the hero of millions but putting a high price on his head.
One Reader's Review of "San Ernesto's Shadow"
I quite enjoyed reading this book. The protagonist sets out to correct the misdeeds of his forefathers, but although his fans try to put him on a pedestal, he realizes he is just a flawed human being like everyone else. So his attempts to contribute to making the world a better place don't come off as "preachy" because he admits that he is no saint. The story reminded me a bit of Magnificent Obsession and White Banners by Lloyd C. Douglas, classics that I have loved for decades.Follow my blog for updates regarding three more full length novels that I have written, as well as two dozen short stories and hundreds of poems that I call "Rough Rhymes" (some of which I have published here on my blog).
I graduated with Bob, june 1966. I could not serve, so I made up my mind to help those Brave Souls that fought for our Freedoms. Stop back often to this blog, and LLoydsrides,org- to see others we are helping. Any donation to -lloydsrides.org- used to help more sufferers. Thank you, Randy"Hoss"Caldwell Remember. FREEDOM is NOT FREE!!
