“Buffalo Valley”. Vaughn leaves
the Army to return to civilian life in Seattle where he starts a job in the New
Year. However, over the holidays Vaughn
visits his family in Grand Forks, North Dakota. While in town, the veteran introduces himself
to elderly pharmacist Hassie; Vaughn’s parents named him after her son who died
in Nam. At the pharmacy, Vaughn and trainee
Carrie meet and quickly fall in love. However, he has an ethics dilemma when he
learns his Washington State employer plans to build a superstore that will destroy
the mom and pop shops in Buffalo Valley.
“Return to Promise”. The schism in their marriage started when Cal
hid from his wife Jane that he signed up to participate in the Promise, Texas
Labor Day Rodeo bull-riding event. The next incident begins when Jane's mother
calls to inform them that her father is ill. Jane, accompanied by her three-year-old
son and eighteen-month-old daughter, travels to her California home while Cal
stays behind. The third mess occurs when
Nicole makes a bold bid to catch geographical bachelor Cal's interests. With Jane in California and Cal in Texas, their
relationship appears dead.
Buffalo Valley is a reprint that returns readers
to the Dakota trilogy on an interesting journey to a Shangri-La threatened by
"progress". Return to Promise
is a reprint of a Heart Of Texas family drama starring protagonists who substantiates that men and women occupy different
galaxies not just planets or states.
