Nutt/Landers Family Chronicles

In this dramatic sequel to "Safe in the Arms of God", Abel Landers struggles to establish a government in the newly established Hood County, Texas, while a lawsuit looms that threatens the rights of almost every landowner in the county. The Nutt brothers struggle to start their new business amid the challenges of the post-Civil War frontier, Jesse and Lizzie have their world turned upside down by an unexpected event, and Susan finds a new love. This is the story of the people of early Granbury, Texas, whose Faith was central in the rebuilding of their lives and county after the ravages of the conflict that tore both the Nation and families asunder. Their love of God, each other, and the land they called home inspired the building of a legacy still alive today, a Legacy Cast in Limestone on the banks of El Rio de los Brazos de Dios - the River of the Arms of God.

In this third volume of Nutt/Landers Family Chronicles, we return to the little Texas town of Granbury during the tumultuous decade of the 1870's, when the family's bonds of kinship are again tested by the fires of adversity. This gripping tale unfolds with heart-wrenching losses, fierce community battles, and a murder trial that shakes the very foundation of the entire county. Amidst the ashes of a devastating fire, the mysterious presence of the man known as John St. Helen, and the shadows of personal conflicts, the family's resilience and unwavering support for one another shine through. Join them on a journey of growth, hope, and new beginnings as they navigate the turbulent landscape of their time. This is a story of love, loss, faith and the indomitable human spirit as it was lived by the real people who were the founding generation of the town "where Texas history lives."
