Carl Owen doesn't intend to lose anything—not his land, not his cattle, and certainly not his girl—ever again!

The young cavalryman returns from the Civil War to find the family farm destroyed, his favorite brother dead, food scarce, and his father determined to leave the Shenandoah Valley to build a cattle empire in Colorado Territory. Crossing the continent, Carl falls in love with his brother's fiancée while set to wed another girl, but he might lose everything if the murderous outlaw Berto Acosta has his way. Carl battles a band of outlaws, a prairie fire, blizzards, a trackless waterless desert, and his own brother—all for the hand of feisty Ellen Bates.

"The Man From Shenandoah is a book for the whole family to share. It offers action, romance and a realistic premise. ...Ms. Ward is a true storyteller who has created characters that demand and hold the reader's interest.... [Her] clear and vivid writing sweeps us along with her characters on their adventures."
          Anne Haw Holt, "Western Fiction Review," April/May 2003. Read the full review.

"Whatever happened to good, old fashioned westerns? If you've ever gazed over the shelves wondering this, then Ms. Ward has a book for you. It recaptures the simpler, more genteel times that used to be essential to the Hollywood Westerns starring people like Henry Fonda and Gary Cooper."
           Cindy Lynn, "Midwest Book Review—Reviewer's Bookwatch," September 2003. Read the full review.

"For Civil War or Western romance lovers, this one is a bit of both. The story follows Carl Owen after the end of the Civil War. He comes home to find his brother has been killed in the war and his family is on the brink of ruin.... I found The Man from Shenandoah immediately mesmerizing."
           Jennifer Hill-Russell, "Roundtable Reviews," October 15, 2003. Read the full review.

Do you already have The Man from Shenandoah and want it autographed? Don't send me the book, as I'm concerned about it getting lost in the mail. I'll be happy to send you an autographed 2- by 4-inch sticker to place inside your copy of The Man from Shenandoah. Simply send me a self-addressed, stamped envelope—the small kind that measures 3 1/2- by 6 1/2-inches is fine—and instructions about who to sign the book for (especially if it is a gift for someone else). Please print or type names so I don't make a mistake. Thank you. By the way, my signature looks much better than the example!
