The dream of Sam Houston and those who fought to bravely at the Alamo and Battle of San Jacinto has come to fruition as Texas finally becomes one of the United States. Along with the establishment of Texas as a new state, this book chronicles the monumental struggle of the Hardin and Taliferro families as they expand the Yellow Rose Ranch--all the while protecting their livelihood from the invading Mexican bandits from the south, and the brutal Comanche raiding parties from the north. In the midst of horrifying attacks, kidnapping and new-found love, the Taliferros and Hardins learn to trust God through hardships and victory. This book is the perfect ending to the Texas saga told in Deep in the Heart and The Yellow Rose.
