About this listen
A historical fiction book set in Virginia and the early United States during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Journey into the heart of America's untamed wilderness with "A Son of the West," where the spirit of exploration collides with the intimate complexities of love and familial bonds. Experience the life of Meriwether Lewis—not just as a celebrated explorer, but as a son shaped by his mother's enduring influence and a man grappling with his myriad passions and ambitions against the backdrop of a young nation.
As the narrative unfolds, we meet Widow Lewis, a figure steeped in mystery and wisdom, who predicts the challenges her son will face as he embarks on a path laden with both promise and sorrow. Living in compelling contradiction, Meriwether juggles his role as Thomas Jefferson's private secretary while yearning for the vast wilderness calling to him. As he navigates the turbulent waters of his connection with Theodosia Alston, a woman unattainable due to her marriage, readers are drawn into a world of heartache and aspiration. Known for his pioneering spirit, Lewis's destiny culminates in the dramatic Lewis and Clark expedition, and the journey west reveals profound struggles with identity, love, and legacy. Ultimately, a tragic fate awaits him in the wilderness, leaving lingering questions about the cost of ambition and the path of greatness.
