Five Cent Return

by William A. Luckey

Joe Evans takes a horse from an auction in Pennsylvania because the horse carries his grandfather's brand. He makes a promise to the abused horse that he will be turned loose on the ranch in Nebraska, if it takes a year to walk there. Joe has been isolated from his family, and doesn't know if his grandfather is still alive. His journey across modern America is filled with learning, how to connect with people, how to defend himself and the horse, how to keep himself intact when people want too much from him. It is a journey of odd characters, learning about love, learning about himself and ultimately returning the horse to run free in the Nebraska sand hills.
