A Man Reborn: A Jesse Coltharp Western

This extraordinary, western novel takes readers on a journey through the inner turmoil that plagues every man in his struggle to find love, friendship, and happiness in a hostile world.

His best friend betrayed him. His girl broke his heart and killed his spirit. Jesse Coltharp was a man who didn’t run from trouble, but he rode as far and as fast as he could to escape the pain of losing his best friend and fiancé in the same day. The young cowboy wasn’t looking for anything more than distance between himself and the only life he had known. Far from his Missouri home, he stumbled across the body of a man whom he would revive from death’s grasp on the rolling plains of the Southeastern Colorado territory. As much as Jesse saved the man from his physical death, the old marshal would save Jesse from the spiritual death that was soon to overtake his soul. Jesse, the marshal, and their friend Zeb would start a journey that would cover more than just miles. Only their grit, ability, and brotherly love would see them through.

Along Jesse's journey, Indians would test him. Gunmen would try him. Outlaws would taunt him, but only one person would ever tame him – Jenny Dunning.
