Can a man from the 21st century survive in 1847? Murdered on his birthday, August Myles finds "crossing over" is nothing like he'd ever heard, read, or imagined, and learns he has not earned a ticket to Paradise. In a grand experiment, the members of the Divine Council gave August another chance. Or did they? With all the limitations of a mortal, he is sent back in time to rescue an 11-year-old orphan girl, to get her safely from Missouri to Oregon. An impossible mission. An adventure filled with death and danger, courage and fear, love and hate, happiness and heartbreak - a grueling journey on the world's longest graveyard - with Bonner's Disciples on the Oregon Trail. Yet, with all the needs and passions of a mortal man, August must also battle the advances of two gorgeous women during long months and close encounters. One woman just wants to seduce him. Another falls in love. But for August Myles, carnal knowledge is forbidden. Is there no justice? About the Author: His first novel, Upon a Crazy Horse, earned Frank Allan Rogers a privileged membership in Western Writers of America, and a nomination for Georgia Author of the Year, because he creates characters so real, so endearing, so compelling, you don't want to let them go when the story ends. Extensive travels with his wife, Mary Rogers, a multi-award-winning oil artist, provide settings and inspiration for tales that make an impact. "My dream," he says, "is not to be known as a great writer, but a great storyteller. At the end of the story, I want readers to feel good about the time they spent with my book." Frank and Mary live in west Georgia, and their favorite places for adventure are farther west.
