This is a new look at the story of the Prodigal Son set in the late 1800's when the train connected both sides of country together. The younger son takes his inheritance and goes West to make his way as a homesteader. Walter the older brother does everything to keep Arthur and the woman both boys have been vying for attention from since they were young. I was awed and inspired by the author's attention to the older brother's heart. It was one that didn't recognize what love really consists of and considered anything or anyone he wanted a prize or possession. The younger's heart knew love and though his sins were many; he found redemption even through failure, because he knew he couldn't go it alone. This story touches the heart, mind and soul.
