    About this series

    TIMBER TRAILS is the final book in The American Blend Series. In 1781, a British soldier at Yorktown predicted to a patriot that some day their families would be united, forming their American Blend. The prediction came true in 1920 when Calvin Roberts met Lori Genet. But Calvin first had to survive the Flu epidemic of 1918, and Lori had to survive the death of her fiance, in World War I. Together they faced an uncertain future, the 1930's depression, Calvin's suicide bout, and World War II where both their sons are reported missing in action. The timber trails mean peace to Calvin and yet, danger to his son, Brad.

      After escaping a lynching in Charleston for being a Redcoat during the Revolutionary War, Henry Roberts was forced to flee into Tennessee. He hoped to start anew and prayed he wouldn't be recognized as a former British soldier. To assure his safety, he becomes a fur trapper and ventures into the wilderness. After a few years, tired of the solitary life and certain that enough time has passed to avoid recognition, he homesteads in Missouri. Indian wars, the war of 1812 and old prejudices threaten to undermine the generations of the Roberts bloodlines.

      Young John Roberts thought life in Missouri exciting as he watched the border wars with Kansas turn bloody. But it was the stealing of a horse that got him in trouble. Escaping a hanging, he raced north and hid in a wagon train going west. The wagon-master intended to turn him in at the next fort, but when they were attacked by Indians, he changed his mind. Bounty hunters were soon on John's trail, and when one came close in the Willamette Valley, he left for the Washington Territory. There he became friends with Sheriff Emerson who eventually learned of John's past. Now there was no other place to hide...
