Somerset (2014)
“Silas could read his friend like a well-thumbed book. Jeremy was the only one of his clan to inherit its patriarch’s Greek-god features (Lettie had called him Helios), and his friend’s face, for all its golden, sculpted handsomeness, was as open as a clear day rarely disturbed by clouds. Today, something had caused the clouds to gather.
“What’s got ahold of you, Jeremy?” Silas asked as his friend followed him up to his room at Queenscrown. It was past the supper and reading hour, and his fa...mily and servants had retired for the night.
Silas prayed it had nothing to do with Jeremy deciding to go off and help the Texians fight their revolution. His comrade-in-purpose had hinted at the desire some time back. “Caleb Martin is as capable of helping you organize and lead the wagon train as I am,” Jeremy had said, and I’ll meet up with you at the point where you cross the Red River.”
Jeremy’s grandfather had fought in the American Revolution sixty years before and while he lived, never let his offspring and their children forget the reasons the war with England was fought.MoreLess
