Emerald Fire

by June Marie Saxton

Kelly O'Rourke has every reason to grieve--and he almost wants to hate the sun for shining, but it challenges him to live and breathe. He's never cowered from a challenge in his life! With jingling spurs and a loaded gun, Kelly rides toward his destiny, blazing trails into the unknown. What begins as a cowboy's lonesome ride becomes an epic tale of self-discovery, inspiration, compassion, forgiveness, personal change, and sweeping societal reformormation.

Emerald Fire is a precious glimpse into the early twentieth century west, an era torn between old-fashioned traditions of frontier America, and the exploding technologies of the new age.

One of the finest books I have read this year. This was so well written that I could not put it down.

I loved it! You do need to read "Into the second Springtime" first to get the background to really understand what happened to our hero before this book takes up his story. The whole plot and characters were great and very believable. Some of the Chinese torture was way graphic and I would have liked that toned down a bit. All in all, it is a book I will read again. Thanks June Marie.
