The slaughter of 183 Texas heroes at an old mission fort in San Antonio in the spring of 1836 sparked a series of events that changed Texas and Texans forever. Upon his victory at the Alamo, General Santa Anna ordered his army to drive all Anglos from the northern Mexican territory and torch their farms and ranches. Almost thirty thousand people, mostly women, children and the elderly fled their homes for safety beyond Texas' border just hours ahead of an army bent on their annihilation. But there were some left behind. A thirteen-year-old boy and his seven-year-old sister suddenly find themselves alone in the Texas frontier wilderness. Andy Bristow must find a way to protect his sister in a land that Comanches roamed for centuries and is now being destroyed by the Mexican Army. Trail of Hope is an action-packed story of the culture clashes in early Texas and a brother's love, loyalty and promises made, regardless of the odds.
