The Price of Fatherhood
(2025)(A book in the American Post-Civil War Westerns series)
A novel by William Black
Fatherhood demands something harder: saving a son who may not want to be saved.
Jebediah Stone’s world shattered when outlaw Leroy Jacobs murdered his wife and stole his son.
Now, years later, Leroy rides into Wildsprings – bringing chaos, cattle rustling, and the ghosts of Jebediah’s past.
But when the boy he thought lost stands before him at White’s Acre, hardened by the man who raised him, Jebediah faces an impossible choice: vengeance or redemption. With the sheriff in Leroy’s pocket and the town descending into lawlessness, Jebediah, in his late-fifties, straps on his deputy’s badge once more.
Can a father’s love survive bullets and bloodshed?
As his new love Eleanor pleads for caution, Jebediah walks into the storm – not for revenge, but for the son who may not want saving.
The duel is set.
The guns are loaded.
And this time, Jebediah won’t fail as a father… even if it kills him.
Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.
Note: Each book in the American Post-Civil War Westerns series is a standalone story that can be read out of order.
Genre: Western
