The Returning (Paperback)

The Returning is a modern day western. Captain Matthew Dale Thompson wasn't your ordinary rancher, he was born on the 300,000 acre ranch known as the Rocking H, but after college he chose to join the U.S. Marine Corps. His decision put a barrier between his Dad and him and there was years neither knew the whereabouts nor the circumstances in each others lives. After twenty-five years of serving his country, he receives a telegram that his Dad is dying and even though all efforts were futile to get him home, he never arrived in time. Matt didn't have the vaguest idea what he was inheriting. He retired from the Marine Corps to assume the duties of keeping a 137-years-old ranch that had been handed down from generation to generation, afloat. Matt had chosen the Marines above staying and helping his Dad, but now the responsibility was his, like it or not.
