Reseña del libro "The Crimson Plains (en Inglés)"
In the second installment of Hunter Chadwick's "almost" true family saga, The Crimson Plains, the Gantz family finds that the roots they planted in Kansas soil are not as deep as they once believed.It is 1900, and the Gantz Cider Factory in Willow Springs is a thriving success, run by the brothers who survived the arduous journey from Alsace-Lorraine. George Gantz, now a young man, is beginning to envision a future of his own-one that includes the spirited Dora Lutz, a girl who captures his heart at a local dance and remains steadfast even through his most humbling moments.But the "future" his father, Mathias, once promised in America takes a drastic turn when a catastrophic wildfire sweeps across the plains in April 1901. In a matter of hours, the orchards are scorched, the cider mill is reduced to ash, and the family's livelihood is gone. Faced with the ruin of their Kansas homestead, the brothers turn their eyes toward the Oklahoma Territory, where a new land lottery promises a chance to start over.Leaving behind the only home he has ever truly known, George travels south to stake a claim in the red dirt. From the chaos of the El Reno drawing to the grueling labor of "proving up" a claim on the rugged frontier, George must navigate the heartbreak of family loss and the brutal reality of life in a dugout home.The Crimson Plains is a story of grit, the enduring bond of brotherhood, and the relentless pursuit of a dream that not even fire or death can extinguish. As the red dust of Oklahoma settles, George and Dora must decide if their love is strong enough to build a legacy on the untamed frontier.
