About this listen

A Texas Story - A mysterious Oblate Catholic Priest with a past seeks shelter in a stage coach transit station between Seguin and San Antonio, Texas. Father Bissionette, a missionary priest plants a church in the Texas Hill Country. This eventually leads to the founding of the town of Guadalupe, Texas. The town and the people prosper and are Texas kind, but soon the ugly face of racism rises up in town when the city elders hire a new Town Marshall and eight deputies. They have an open disdain for Mexicans and enforce the law with extreme prejudice against the Mexican people. The city is fractured until a true "Son of the Town" returns to Guadalupe and is able to reunite the community.

A Texas Story takes place in the mid 1800's and centers around two prominent ranch owners that own large cattle operations next to each other. Kevin Garrett owns the North Star Ranch and Antonio Riojas owns the Rio Blanco Ranch. The White and Mexican worlds collide violently when Kevin Garett's beautiful daughter Helen falls in love with Zacarias Carlos Rojas, the dashing son of Antonio Riojas. Both families endure pain and tragedy as the story unfolds. Only true forgiveness, love, and redemption is able to bring the Garrett family and the town of Guadalupe together.

I absolutely loved this book. Great storytelling! Theses characters became family as their history unfolds in an era where land was your heritage. I can't tell you how many times my heart stopped. I was reminded that life's journey can be merciful in the wake of tragedy. The narration was excellent! It gave life to these vibrantly written characters right off the pages. I highly recommend for readers and listeners alike!

An excellent story. I think it would make a good min-series. I can see Sam Elliott as the elderly Kevin Garrett.

Excellent

A captivating tale of what could easily be a true story. I enjoyed the attention to detail and historical facts intertwined with action, greed and love. The narrator brought it life with his great pronunciation and matching tone. I recommend firing up the fireplace, brewing a cup of coffee and grabbing some pan dulce as you listen to this one!

Great Story
