Fathers: 12 Tales of the American West

Editor Jeremy L. C. Jones has collected twelve western-themed stories about fatherhood, three tales each from four of the most highly regarded, award-winning authors working in the genre today: John Duncklee, Wayne D. Dundee, John D. Nesbitt, and Troy D. Smith. Fathers is a powerful book about responsibility and trust, kindness and compassion, wickedness and meanness, success and failure, honor and shame. There are people in these pages doing the right thing, doing the wrong thing, and doing the best they can. There are folks standing up and backing down. There are characters that follow in their father's footsteps, blaze their own trails, and other who are just trying to figure out where their paths diverged. Mostly, though, Fathers is a book about love. But not the easy kind of love, if there is such a thing.
