Taking over the family farm when his father dies unexpectedly, Billy Thomas becomes an adult before he is ready. But he keeps moving forward, working the family farm in Missouri and planning to marry Susan, the beauty down the road. Nearly killed in a wagon accident, Billy is on the mend when he and Susan marry. Though there is a bad element terrorizing Billy and his family, with the help of those around them, Billy and Susan begin their lives together. But the happy times would not last... Kidnapped and kept as a slave laborer for three years, Billy returns home to find his world torn apart. His thirteen-year quest to recover his family will take him to the far corners of the United States, in the hope of reuniting with the things that make life worthwhile. An engrossing tale set around and after the turn of the last century, Billy Forever Fearless will lead readers into a time long past, with lessons still relevant today.
This story takes the reader back to the early 1900's, and I was reminded how different it was to be raised back in that era. Billy Thomas lived an adventurous hard life. He was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, shot and much more. By Billy being fearless and staying in faith, nothing could keep Billy down. No matter what happened to Billy, he loved and protected his family, wife, and children the best that he could. I enjoyed reading this story. I enjoy supporting local authors. David Carlyle is a local author in Missouri.
