A tale of daily hardships and hard-earned victories, Todd struggles to prove himself a committed husband and a courageous frontiersman. All of this in the wake of his father’s shadow. Cross-country chases, deadly showdowns, and budding romances weave the story of this second powerful novel in the Black Hills family saga novel series. Published by B&H Books.

Note from Fortunes of the Black Hills series author Stephen Bly about Deadwood, Dakota Territory:

No other boom town in the late 19th century remained isolated for so long. The railroad first punched, prodded, and pleaded its way across the West in 1869. But Deadwood remained a stagecoach and freight wagon town until 1890. That meant for its first fifteen years, only the dauntless would make the journey. And only the courageous, and the lucky, would survive.

One thing all the people of Deadwood, Dakota Territory held in common, no matter what part of town they called home. They lived life in the shadows. The gulch is deep. The mountains steep. The winter sun stayed out on the Black Hills and Dakota plains until late morning. Finally it exploded above White Rocks and cleansed the city of shadows ….

Life in the shadows. It happens to all of us. We stand so close to a dominant personality that our reflection can hardly be noticed. Someone more famous. More skilled. More powerful. Sometimes they are people we hardly know. Sometimes they are members of our own family. But does God call us all the bright light of day, or does He destine some of us to live in the shadows? The answer is not always easy. Perhaps that’s why Todd Fortune’s struggle is not too much different from many of ours.
